CYBORG ? “Welcome to the other side. I welcome you here, even though you probably aren't aware that you are on it”

Cyborg Bodies & Dystopian Are we morally mature enough to handle our technological Advancements responsibly? And is it really all that bad? Futures

Cyberpunk & The Virtual Body What is Cyberpunk? Body Politics & Capital

Cyberpunk + Apple = Think different? eature=related eature=related

The Virtual Body William Gibson: “Cyberspace as a metaphor of an immersive computer interface that allows the extension of human consciousness into the topologies of global information networks, which cannot be bounded or internalized by any individual psyche” + Commodified Cyborg Bodies + The (Post) Modern Cyborg Self + Virtuality/Body in the Wired

Prostheses & Cyborg Technology/media as an extension of the body apparatus: The body- technology Interface “Devices are all and any technologies, tools which allow interface. All devices extend and amputate us at the same time ” (McLuhan) Virtual world of Image and Sound = Digital Memory? "Man has, as it were, become a sort of prosthetic God" -

Do We Need A Body? The Wired as an upper layer of the world – Body is a hologram of information in psyche/mind Layer 09: “…Worldwide Neural Network, a wireless network whereby all humanity would be plugged in at an unconscious level without the need of a device” Layer 11: “The human body is nothing but a machine. If the physical limitations of the body restrict mankind’s evolution...” Layer Suicide: “Look at me, im committing suicide: SLI0http://youtube.com/watch?v=9f6jRQ- SLI0
