Description
This collection of essays and creative pieces explores what it means to live as a cyborg in the 21st century. Human integration with complex technologies has accelerated over the past few centuries, with interest spreading among scientists, coders, people with sophisticated implants, theorists, and artists.
Featuring contributions from over 25 countries, this book addresses topics including race, gender, sexuality, class, conflict, capitalism, climate change, disability, and more. It offers a critical vocabulary for understanding the cyborgification of culture and everyday life, exploring the differences between robots, androids, cyborgs, hybrids, post-, trans- and techno-humans.
Perfect for students, researchers, teachers, and anyone interested in cyberculture, media and cultural theory, science fiction studies, or the intersections between human and machine, this book provides a compelling and interdisciplinary exploration of the complex relationships between humans and technology.
