Cyborgs of the Ecocene: What Robots Can Teach Us about Being Human in a Calamitous World (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781836955887)

The question of the human/non-human boundary remains unanswered today. This book explores the relationship between people, society and nature through the lens of robots and robotics research. Blending ethnographic fieldwork with critical analysis and literature, it develops an original interpretation of contemporary technology - that a deeper understanding of the field leads to a greater appreciation for human embodiment and creativity, rather than a belief in imminent machine intelligence.
