Cyborg Apocalypse

In the future we will copulate with computers, we will all be Cyborgs, ‘mythic hybrids of machine and organism’ – the distinction between man and machine is based on a false proposition. If, as Haraway says, ‘the relation between organism and machine has been a border war’ we should step back and recognise that the machine is not the real enemy.
Let’s fuse with the machines – and the sooner the better! Hang on a minute – we already have!
