Another Hugo award winner from the 70's. the story follows a NASA program to colonize Mars through sending a test astronaut who has been turned into a cyborg in order to survive on Mars with no heat or food..basically. The man becomes more than a man and struggles with his understaning of the human condition and how he interacts with the technological aspects of his body including over-riding internal defence mechanisms meant to protect him that cause him to stalk his other crew members. NOt realy about the mission..more about becoming the cyborg with all the difficulities of having your penis cut off because you don't urniate anymore and fact have no internal systems that are not mechanical besides the brain.
