My fetish for new and better limbs continues, and I must share. I know the guy just has his hand in the glove and he’s tethered to whatever is powering it (It was 1965, give science a break), but man, if it were backpack mounted, I’d have the perfect means to both live out my personal Warhammer 40K fantasy or to get my revenge on those spineless creeps who tore down Spindle in the middle of the night.
For more on the General Electric Hardiman (only the hand ever worked even a little bit – seen above) or other proto-cyborg lifestyle experiments, check out David Zondy’s Tales of Future Past.
