There is the possibility of the evolution of human species into something different, Launius said. Yes, I've read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy, too. ;)

Cyborgs in our future? Given the advances in robotics over just the last decade, the integration of machine and man will easily occur within our lifetimes. Unsurprisingly, most of the applications of this technology, at least at the beginning, will be of a military nature.

Thanks for the tip- I liked the two Crichton novels I've read so far (State of Fear, Airframe).
