Slan by A.E. van Vogt

This was my favourite book growing up. Not sure the dramatisation totally does it justice - but it probably never could for me. But it is an atmospheric and worthwhile production.

Slan

A.E. Van Vogt wrote one of the quintessential Golden Age novels in Slan, originally published in 1940. Jommy Cross is the son of the legendary Slan, Peter Cross -- a great man of science and technology. Slans are the next stage of human evolution: telepathy achieved through a pair of golden tendrils.

However, when both of Jommy's parents die, Jommy is still young and left to find his way.
