"We are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs" - http://cyborganthropology.com/Donna_Haraway



"Donna Haraway uses the metaphor of the cyborg to discuss the relationships of science, technology, and 'socialist-feminism'. She holds that hi-tech culture challenges and breaks down the old dualisms of Western thinking such as the mind/body split, Self/Other, male/female, reality/appearance, and truth/illusion. She holds that we are no longer able to think of ourselves in these terms, or even, strictly speaking, as biological entities. Instead, we have become cyborgs, mixtures of human and machine, where the biological side and the mechanical/electrical side become so inextricably entwined that they cannot be split." http://www.egs.edu/faculty/donna-haraway/biography/
