THE CYBERNETIC COMPENDIUM

TO TV’S MOST REALISTIC SCI-FI SUPERHERO SHOWS

Before Hiro on Heroes, there was Steve Austin - The Six Million Dollar Man. Before Buffy Summers on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, there was Jaime Sommers - The Bionic Woman. Now, television's classic wonder people of the 1970s are back and stronger than ever in - THE BIONIC BOOK: The Six Million Dollar Man And The Bionic Woman Reconstructed, written by best-selling author Herbie J Pilato (Bewitched Forever, The Kung Fu Book of Caine).

The Bionic Book is chock-full of commentary culled from Pilato's exclusive interviews with Bionic stars Lee Majors (who played half-superman/half-mechanical marvel Steve Austin), Lindsay Wagner (Jaime Sommers - Steve's female counterpart and one true love), series creator (and science fiction novel icon) Martin Caidin, executive producer Harve Bennett (who would later help to rescue the Star Trek feature film franchise), producer/director Kenneth Johnson (The Incredible Hulk and Alien Nation) and actor Richard Anderson, the latter of whom portrayed Oscar Goldman - Steve and Jaime's stoic but understanding superviser (and who has penned the book's foreword).

Much more than a mere TV trivia guide, THE BIONIC BOOK explores in-depth the social, psychological, medical and scientific influence, appeal and message behind two of the most popular and heroic science fiction television programs of all time.

There will be a "BIONIC BOOK" signing in Palm Springs - In Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of "The Six Million Dollar Man" as a weekly TV series. The event will be at the Filmmakers' Gallery, 200 South Indian Canyon Drive, in Palm Springs, CA on Wednesday, January 24th at 5:30 Pm

Pilato will be signing copies of: "Special Commemorative Edition" of The Bionic Book, Connery, Sean Connery: Before, During and After His Most Famous Role, Mary: The Mary Tyler Moore Story, Twitch Upon a Star: The Bewitched Life and Career of Elizabeth Montgomery, Retro Active Television: An In-Depth Perspective of Classic TV's Social Circuitry (which the Los Angeles Book Festival named Book of the Year), The 12 Best Secrets of Christmas, and more.
