From Donna J. Haraway's 1984 "Cyborg Manifesto":

Miniaturaisation has changed our experience of mechansim....

Modern machines are quintessentially microelectronic devices: they are everywhere and they are invisible. ...

The silicon chip is a surface for writing. It is etched in molecular scales, disturbed only by atomic noise- the ultimate interference for nuclear scores. ....

The new machines are so clean and light. Their engineers are sunworshipers...

Our best machines are made of sunshine- the are all light and clean because they are nothing but signals, electromagnetic waves, a section of a spectrum. ...

People are nowhere near so fluid....

Why should our bodies end at the skin, or include at best other beings encapsulated by skin? ...

The machine is not an "it" to be animated worshiped and dominated. The machine is us, our processes, an aspect of our embodiment. ...

A cyborg world might be about lived and social and bodily realities in which people are not afraid of the joint kinship with animals and machines. ...

We require regeneration, not rebirth. ...
