How We Became Posthuman: Virtual Bodies in Cybernetics, Literature and Informatics
N. Katherine Hayles
Separating hype from fact, this text investigates the fate of embodiment in an information age. It relates three issues: information as an entity separate from the material forms that carry it; the construction of the Cyborg; and the dismantling of the humanist "subject" in cybernetic discourse.
