Cyborgization of Actual Social Relations

Abstract

This chapter depicts the essence of cyborgization of social relations in sports, art, music, traffic. This harkens back to the pioneering cybernetic work of Norbert Weiner and extends into the current and future reconfigurations of man-machine relations that are shaping human life and society from human enhancement to driverless cars. The chapter shows that procedures of scientific work cyborgize the historical reality of man into the era of scientific humanism as naturalism, and that it is not the future, but in fact the present, that we are acclimatizing to as we have not become fully aware of the present future.
