Cyberman
Emotionless metal beings
A Cyberman is a fictional cyborg from the British science fiction series *Doctor Who*.
Originally human, Cybermen have been converted into emotionless machine creatures through replacement of organic parts with metal and electronics.
They seek to "upgrade" other beings into their kind: The Cybermen marched through the streets, converting everyone they encountered.
The term sometimes appears in broader discussions of transhumanism or technological body modification.
