Más información sobre el libro
The cyborg - an organic body augmented with technology - is an enduring figure that can be found across science fiction stories, novels, films, and, more recently, television. What can its marked presence in cult TV shows tell us about the rapidly changing world we live in, and indeed about the human condition? This book explores how the image of the cyborg attracts our fears and fascinations. These bionic creations encourage us, as viewers, to think about our interactions with technology in an age of immediacy and surveillance, reassess our own corporeal experiences, and re-imagine gender binaries and racial differences. This book uses the televisual medium as a tool to understand a range of cybernetic characters, forming a notable event in a growing field that will delight scholars and fans of futuristic television alike.
