Notes:
- Cyborg as a metaphor.
- Third party – bridges gaps – not X or Y but Z.
- War is a cyborg orgy creating destruction.
- A world without gender (with questionable reference to ‘typical feminist’).
- Cyborg does not remember the cosmos.
- Determinist?
- Fractured identities – we all have multiple identities.
- Cyborg writing – there is power to be had.
- Dualisms: black/white, male/female, primitive/non-primitive. Cyborg ignores dualism. One is too few, but two are too many.
- We are cyborgs.
