Another author D. Haraway discusses human body and the embodiment technology - Technology and the Body.
“A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. Social reality is lived social relations, our most important political construction, a world-changing fiction.”
Haraway discusses power and oppression as the cyborg manifestations through biotechnology becomes part of our everyday, especially in relation to scientific culture. For the human to become better, fitter, more dynamic and stronger requires additional technological advancement. Oscar Pistorius, 'blade runner' is an example of this. Only with technological intervention can the body be viewed as superior in longevity and performance.
