Do you remember The Six Million Dollar Man? It was a '70s American science fiction television series based on the novel Cyborg, about a former astronaut Colonel Steve Austin. After being seriously injured in a NASA test flight crash, Austin is rebuilt with bionic implants that give him superhuman strength, speed and vision. Austin is then employed as a secret agent by a fictional U.S. government office OSI. What was a very creative fictional story 50 years ago is now becoming reality through the philosophical and scientific movement named transhumanism.
