A Course in Cyborg Semiotics enriches cyborgology as a field of inquiry and challenges the status quo, reinvigorating the potentiality of change through an extensive conceptualization of cyborgs as signs, symbols, and cybernetic systems. Mick Howard proposes a novel methodological framework and highlights each step with vivid examples that help the reader to understand his conceptual path. Drawing on a solid semiotic approach rooted in the Saussurean tradition, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in digital technology and its imbrication in everyday life and embodiment.
