  1. 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
