[Lee Stewart]

From the novel Cyborg, published in 1972, on which the popular television series The Six Million Dollar Man was based

Who doesn't remember—without giving away your age—the adventures of ex-pilot Steve Austin, whose legs, arm, and eye had been replaced with mechanical prostheses, making him a half-man, half-machine superhero. In the real world, the first bionic limb to be attached to a human was an arm. Robert Campbell Aird, who lost his arm to muscular cancer, received a new limb at Margaret Rose Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1993.
