Conclusion

Through a range of creative works, this chapter has demonstrated the ways in which cyborg culture—whether drawing on the concept of cyborg as content or method, or even becoming cyborg—might be understood and experienced in everyday life, popular culture, electronic music, and avant-garde art. Here we illustrated the ways in which the figure of the cyborg is present in works across a range of genres. These works explore themes including identity, speculation, and imagination, expansion of the senses, experimentation with technology, hybridity and remix, the glitch, and feminist politics of technology. In closing, while cyborgs have traveled widely in popular culture, we argue that they are still often misunderstood creatures, as we will discuss in more detail in the next chapters.
