Cyborg

myth:cyborg

And the boundary itself dissolves: the cyborg, half living and half machine — RoboCop, the man rebuilt as a weapon; the Terminator's steel beneath living skin; Ghost in the Shell's Major, asking whether a 'ghost', a soul, still dwells in a wholly artificial body; the Borg, who assimilate flesh into their hive. Where the shapeshifter once blurred human and beast, the cyborg now blurs human and machine. — genre history
