Description:
"Science fiction, science and philosophy approach man’s future from the most divergent of perspectives. The creation of cyborgs, for example, in the domains of science and fiction does not merely hold out hopes that a man further developed through technology will come to exist, but means at once the "liberation from philosophy through technique" (Oswald Wiener), or the transition "from subject to project" (Vilém Flusser)." (C.G.)
