Reviews for The Cyborg Handbook

1. Better than the Bible

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2006

   
   As a cyborg myself, whose neighbour is also one, we found this book superb. We read it together. With our cyborg eyes.
   
   Essential reading.

2. Highly stimulating yet dry at times

   Rated 4 out of 5 stars, June 12nd, 1998

   This hefty tome is a real find for those who like a little science with their fiction. The basic premise is that in one way or another most of humanity is already a CYBORG. The definition is a bit broader than say Arnold in the Terminator and encompasses everything from fillings and eyeglasses to using a computer. I enjoyed the exploration of the CYBORG as a media icon. The technical discussions and NASA reports were a bit dry but do add to the overall credibility of the subject. This book is a real winner and anyone interested in the interaction of politics,philosophy and the human body will enjoy it.
