reviewed How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature, and Informatics on May 18, 2008 How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature, and Informatics
Theory book on cybernetics. I found it particularly inspiring in thinking about myself as a disabled person. The ways that we depend on machinery to construct our humanity grows and grows every day. The freakishness of disability is minimized by the minute, as we all wrap ourselves in metal.
