Kat Kitay (IG) (Twitter) Are we cyborgs yet? Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto (1985) is a thesis for the future. According to her cyborg theory, humans are no longer purely organic beings, but have instead become "chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism." She declared that our new reality demands transgressive ways of thinking that blur the lines between nature, humans, and cybernetics as a path toward emancipation from duality and oppression. Her work anticipated the implications of artificial intelligence, robotics, and biohacking and integrates these in the figure of the cybernetic organism (aka “cyborg”). Her manifesto became a foundational text in technological posthumanism.
