But cyborgs, philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark writes, <br /> are not something to be feared--indeed, we already are cyborgs. Here, Clark <br /> argues that what makes humans so different from other species is our capacity to <br /> fully incorporate tools and supporting cultural practices into our existence. <br /> Technology as simple as writing on a sketchpad, as familiar as Google or a <br /> cellular phone, and as potentially revolutionary as mind-extending neural <br /> implants--all exploit our brains' astonishingly plastic nature. Our minds are <br /> primed to seek out and incorporate non-biological resources, so that we actually <br /> think and feel through our best technologies. Bio-technological unions, Clark <br /> argues, are evolving with a speed never seen before in history. As we enter an <br /> age of sensory augmentation, wireless devices, intelligent environments, <br /> thought-controlled prosthetics, and rapid-fire information search and retrieval, <br /> the line between the user and her tools grows thinner day by day.<br /> <br /> Table of Contents<br /> <br /> Introduction 3<br /> Ch. 1 Cyborgs Unplugged 13<br /> Ch. 2 Technologies to Bond With 35<br /> Ch. 3 Plastic Brains, Hybrid Minds 59<br /> Ch. 4 Where Are We? 89<br /> Ch. 5 What Are We? 115<br /> Ch. 6 Global Swarming 143<br /> Ch. 7 Bad Borgs? 167<br /> Ch. 8 Conclusions: Post-Human, Moi? 197<br /> Notes 199<br /> Index 221<br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 0195148665<br /> * ISBN-13: 9780195148664<br /> * Format: Hardcover, 229pp<br /> * Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA<br /> * Pub.
