anthology: HUMAN-MACHINES

In this collection, eleven top authors imagine what the experience of a cyborg would be like. A cyborg is a self-regulating human-machine whose mechanical and biological parts function as an integral whole. The cyborg idea is not new to man, who already modifies his biological parts with glasses, false limbs, hearing aids, iron lungs, pacemakers and artificial heart valves. In fact, technology has advanced so rapidly that it is already possible to think of the cyborg as aa not-too-distant future reality.
