Our favourite robotics expert, Kevin Warwick aka, Captain Cyborg, is promoting his new book I Cyborg the epic tale of one man's transformation in to half human/half tractor following the implantation of an electronic chip in his arm in April.

You can catch him tonight between 5pm and 7pm on the Johnnie Walker show BBC Radio 2. Here's the puff:

If the BBC says he's a cyborg, he must be a cyborg. No?

The countercultural types at BBC Online seem to disagree with their radio colleagues. The cheeky monkeys have commissioned Dave 'Boy' Green, co-editor of Need to Know, and well-known Warwick twitcher, to review I, Cyborg.

Headlined, "Why I'm not impressed with Professor (no BBC, Captain!) Cyborg", the article is a gentle rejoinder to some of Kevin's more fanciful flights.

That's what we think. The Borg Army thinks differently. You can check out the piece and reader commments here.

Also, don't forget to vote for Captain Cyborg in the Esquire "50 Sharpest Men" contest. The form is crap, but spare a couple of minutes. Make your mark now.

You don't know what the fuss is about? Here are two classics from Kieren McCarthy to get you up to speed:

Kevin Warwick: a life in pictures

Finally, here's a link to The Register' extensive coverage of Captain Cyborg. ®
