Building off the highly successful The Cyborg Handbook, this new
collection of essays, interviews, and creative pieces brings
together a set of compelling personal accounts about what it means
to live as a cyborg in the twenty-first century. Human integration
with complex technologies goes back to clothes, cooking, and
language, but has accelerated incredibly in the last few centuries,
with interest spreading among scientists, coders, people with
sophisticated implants, theorists, and artists. This collection
includes some of the most articulate of these voices from over 25
countries, including Donna Haraway, Stelarc, Natasha Vita-More,
Steve Mann, Amber Case, Michael Chorost, Moon Ribas, Kevin Warwick,
Sandy Stone, Dion Farquhar, Angeliki Malakasioti, Elif Ayiter,
Heesang Lee, Angel Gordo, and others. Addressing topics including
race, gender, sexuality, class, conflict, capitalism, climate
change, disability and beyond, this collection also explores the
differences between robots, androids, cyborgs, hybrids, post-,
trans-, and techno-humans, offering readers a critical vocabulary
for understanding and discussing the cyborgification of culture and
everyday life. Compelling, interdisciplinary, and international,
the book is a perfect primer for students, researchers, and
teachers of cyberculture, media and cultural theory, and science
fiction studies, as well as anyone interested in the intersections
between human and machine.
