50 Posts About Cyborgs

September 2010 was the 50th Anniversary of the coining of the term 'cyborg'. Over the course of the month, this site was updated 50 times with links to material — most of it new — celebrating 50 years of one of the 20th Century's more enduring concepts.

    “Cyborg” is a child of the space age that almost immediately fled the nest. It found a home in the popular and critical imagination, where it’s flourished for the past 50 years. Hybrid creatures of technology, biology, and culture, cyborgs find purchase in our fantasies, our nightmares, and our purchase orders.

    To those who have just discovered our project, greetings to you in the future! Poke through the archives, you’re in for a treat.
