Baseado em pistas encontradas na resposta do @ Trevor, eu acho que o título que você está procurando é O homem remontado por Herbert D. Kastle. Foi publicado em 1964.
The Druggish simply disassembled Edward Berner--tissue by tissue, nerve by nerve. In tanks they stored the million remnants and shreds that had been Berner, and they changed his brain into a fantastic recording device. Then they simply put him back together. Sinew by sinew, cell by cell. But it was not the same Edi Berner. The new Ed Berner was stronger, healthier--stronger and healthier than any other man.
