"The God Machine" is the title of a science fiction novel by Martin Caidin which was first published in 1968.
Set in the near future, the novel tells the story of Steve Rand, one of the brains behind Project 79, a top-secret US Government project dedicated to creating artificial intelligence. Rand survives an attempt on his life before he realizes that Project 79 has gained sentience and is trying to control the minds of humans and take over the world. Assisted by a security agent and a mathematician, Rand sets out to destroy Project 79 before it's too late.
This early SF work by Caidin includes a discussion of bionics, the replacement of human body parts with machinery. Caidin would revisit this theme a few years later in his novel, "Cyborg", which later spawned the TV series, "The Six Million Dollar Man".
