"Jake 2.0" was an American television program originally broadcast on UPN in 2003. The program was cancelled in mid-January 2004 due to low ratings, leaving four episodes unaired in the United States. However in the UK all the episodes were played out on Sky One. The series is currently being aired on HDnet on Thursdays at 10:00pm EST and has aired internationally. It also began airing on The Sci Fi Channel on January 5, 2007.

The series revolved around a computer expert, Jake Foley, who works for the U.S. government's National Security Agency (NSA) and was accidentally infected by nanobots which give him superhuman powers. He is able to control technology with his brain, making him "the ultimate human upgrade" according to the show's introduction.
