Man Plus

A former astronaut turns cyborg for a critical mission to Mars in the Nebula Award–winning sci-fi classic by the author of Gateway.

In the not-too-distant future, a global war over natural resources threatens humanity. Nuclear warships position themselves as the American government works feverishly to colonize Mars. Former astronaut Roger Torraway has agreed to undergo a cybernetic transformation into something new, a being that can survive the rigors of Mars before it is terraformed. As Man Plus, he will be essential to opening the new Martian frontier . . . but not without unprecedented challenges to his humanity.

First published in 1976 to popular and critical acclaim, Man Plus is now more relevant than ever. The question of where man will go once the world's food, water, and oil have run out has yet to be answered. Frederick Pohl's novel presents a brilliantly imagined, compellingly possible scenario that has enthralled countless readers.
