Just finished reading Cyborg by Martin Caidin — the novel that inspired The Six Million Dollar Man. If you grew up watching Steve Austin leap in slow motion or remember that red jumpsuit action figure with the bionic eye, this one’s for you. From Cold War tension to cutting-edge tech (for its time), the book holds up in fascinating ways. Nostalgia, robotics, and a few surprises along the way. jrogel.com/just-read-cyborg/ #SixMillionDollarMan

My latest #ScienceFiction #novel is available in #eBook format!! 💫

It's about two women agents who are highly skilled fighting with blades. While they are undercover in enemy space, they find themselves in need of a new pilot. But they quickly attract attention from the oppressor enemy soldiers, which further threatens their mission.

It is a novel inspired by Western settler #colonialism and the taking of #indigenous land.

@postmarketOS omg!!

I was excited to hear the features, then disappointed to hear it's backed by proprietary libraries from #Gboard, but then excited again to learn this demonstrates the ability to run stuff from #LineageOS and it's forks/ancestors without having to run a full-blown emulator! And not a normal app but a integrated subsystem no less 😮

If #postmarketOS were human, this would be a true #cyborg (the good kind) :postmarketos:

Manga is political

The Ghost in the Shell (攻殻機動隊), 1989-1991, Shirow Masamune, Young Magazine Kaizokuban

STORY: 7

Meet Motoko Kusanagi, your everyday special-operation-cyborg-elite in a future that massively inspired cyber-punk culture. Take a seat, and enjoy a solid story where technology is about to turn the flow of information into a new form of consciousness, written before mass cellphones and social media! Not everything is clear, the pace is sometimes strange, but oh boy, cybernetics, geek sci-fi, political embroilment, police action, this manga does it all quite right!

ART: 9

Fantastic work that helped defined the style of manga from the 90s, reading it 30 years later everything still looks great!
Even the (novel at that time) use of computerized textures still serves the graphics although it should be dated by now.

CGI from 1990!

 

POLITICAL POTENTIAL: 7

The big picture politics that the section 9 (where the protagonist works) is dealing with, point at democracy manipulation, corruption, foreign policies that disregard the interest of peoples and terrorism. It’s great to feel individual points of view at the same time and see that our hero can sometimes be bad or that bad guys have goals that you could sympathize with. There’s also reflection about human rights and even what defines a human.
My favorite quote: “Emphasizing a lifestyle based on consumption is the ultimate violence against poor countries”.

Poor kid.

FEMINISM: 6

The cyborg Major Kusanagi, who is female, is the central character of this manga. She is the cream of her profession with her abilities, her information network and her expensive top-secret body parts. She can infiltrate bigwig politicians, butt heads with terrorists and fight giant robots. On her free time, Kusanagi has a boyfriend or gets some cybersex with girlfriends of her. Her partner Batou, who takes after Arnold Schwarzenegger, offers a solid support but is showed as less competent.
Major Kusanagi seriously kicks ass.
And.. that’s it for women.
Guys come in all sizes and shapes but almost every other woman in the manga has the same sexy body. Whether they are sex-doll, secretary, technician or nurse does not matter (and yes there’s not many girls in a position of power). One could argue it shows sexism is still prevalent in this futuristic society, and women are still pressured to have conforming bodies. But, considering the annoying amount of male gaze through the manga, I’d argue that it says more about sexism in the manga of the 90s..

Poor terrorist.

CONCLUSION: 7/10

The Ghost in The Shell is a major title that stands the test of time, and a great read before watching the masterpiece that is the anime adaptation.

MK2 Cyborg "CH-14" aka Chamelia

CH-14 is a cyborg made by EvoWorks in the Robotics Laboratory of Casper Wyoming. She was build for a scout role, observing enemy territory while being able to stealth out enemy detection.

EvoWorks scientists equipped her with the most high end technology in terms of camouflage. the hexagonal plating on her jacket do not only adapt to the environment around her, but also send out an electric signal which manipulate any kind of sensor to make Chamelia completely invisible to them. The rest of her body is made with aluminum plating and titanium frames...and well of course all the other machinery needed, so Chamelia can function properly.
Her weaponry consists a singular MK2 Class Modified Scout Pistol with a scope attached to it, being able to zoom up to 8x. Glady there is no stock needed to be attatched to this weapon. The robotic arms already act against the recoil perfectly.

Canonically Chamelia is the only one of my 5 MK2 characters to die. 2 of the others were send out on a mission to locate her at her last known location, where they would find her destroyed and torn apart robotic body, probably looted for the valuable parts...

Thsi image was made with AI. All other aspects like design and lore were made by me.

With the Teen Tower all to themselves today, will Beast boy be able to handle all of Cyborg?
