Man Plus
Frederik Pohl & Thomas T. Thomas · 2 novels · 1976–1994
Frederik Pohl's Man Plus follows Roger Torraway, who is surgically and cybernetically rebuilt into a post-human organism able to survive unprotected on the Martian surface, as part of a crash program to colonize Mars ahead of a predicted global crisis. The 1976 novel, which won the Nebula Award, is a clinical, unsentimental look at what such a transformation costs a person's sense of self. Thomas T. Thomas wrote the sequel Mars Plus, continuing the story of the Martian colony years later.
