The Clockwork Man;

TCM is cited by B. Stableford, Romance, as a thoughtful work featuring a visitor who accidentally travels from a far-future time to ours; the visitor has been agumented by "a 'clock' which regulates his thought and metabolism" Note: Look for TCM in Stableford by title, not author. Edwin Vincent Odle is remarkable both for his obscurity and fame. The Clockwork Man is considered the first appearance of a cyborg in science fiction literature; his only other novel was never published and has been lost. His work has been apocryphally attributed to a pseudonymous Virginia Woolf. He was also the founding editor of Argosy, the English short story magazine.
