to the themes theorized in Donna Haraway’s 1985 essay titled Cyborg Manifesto. Furthermore, both pieces of work explore the relationship between humans and the machines that we create, in this case, a humanoid robot believed to containing Artificial Intelligence. Since most modern human experience is constructed, there is almost nothing to separate us form the machines we create. The film also represents the borderlands in which cyborgs live in. The borderlands are the productive spaces that are

Cark (2004) identifies Manfred Clynes and co-author Nathan Kline as first coining the phrase "Cyborg" in a story called "Cyborgs and Space" published in Astronautics

that it has inspired have consumed human’s attention and pushed them apart. In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Philip K. Dick suggests that human dependence on technology has blurred the boundaries between humans and androids; both are in fact cyborgs—“hybrid[s] of machine and organism” (Haraway, 149). By having his human characters describe such technologies as the Empathy Box, the Penfield Mood Organ, and television as “extension[s] of [their] bod[ies]” and the absence of them as “the absence

so for Haraway’s idea of cyborgs and Twain’s idea of conformity. Both concepts are interrelated because the cyborg is the hybrid of both machine and organism, and conformity, is the center of “standing out” and “barely noticeable”. By applying Mark Twain’s idea that conformity is a result of self-approval to Donna Haraway’s argument that cyborgs are the ramifications of different political and economic social systems, we can see that because of Haraway’s idea that cyborgs are the balance between two

concepts of creation and origin in order to forge a new identity for the vampire in literature. She truly stands as a stepping point toward the elusive cyborg – a new biological citizenship being crafted by her very existence in Butler’s universe, and what else is the cyborg but an attempt at that very determination of self? Before addressing the cyborg, the concept of the “other” and its place in Butler’s novel must be addressed as the bridge between the two theories. Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel was one

The Cyborg Manafesto by Donna Haraway compliments many of the ideas brought up in Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. Haraway’s claims about race, the distinction between human and machines, and the concept that humans are cyborgs all support the themes and ideas in Breakfast of Champions. Donna Haraway’s claim about humans

of advanced cybernetics and sophisticated networks, the mainstream for many in this progressive culture is body modification and augmentation. The meld between man and machine has resulted in the creation of what is known throughout the film as a cyborg. Since everything is technology based, including the majority of the population, the need for cyber security has increased. Organizations, such as the Department of the Interior, were created by the government in order to be better prepared for

man-made blood vessels and even micro-chips in our brains. In A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century, a well-known essay published in the late twentieth century, Donna Haraway developed the notion of Cyborg. She states that there is no actual boundary among “human”, “animal”, and

in an advanced society containing large divides between different groups of people including; cyborgs, humans, and Lunars. Cyborgs are often looked down upon as inhuman machines that are held to high expectations though, the majority of cyborgs are partially human. The antagonist, Cinder, is a cyborg who struggles with these divides between people. Because of this, Cinder feels the need to hide her Cyborg self and constantly work to appease others in order to be accepted. One theme this story suggests
