Natural Born Cyborgs
Minds, Technologies, and the Future of Human Intelligence
Andy Clark, Beav 202.4834 CLA 2003, Oxford University Press
Clark's principal thesis is that human beings are not merely tool-using but mind+tool merging - we co-adapt to the tools we make to co-adapt with. We have been "cyborgs" since we picked up the first stick to extend our reach, or the spoke the first words to project our minds into others.
