With the entrenchment of artificial intelligence in the technologies we use in our daily lives, the
anthropocentric view of human existence (that is, the idea that humans are the most important entity in the
world) seems to be getting challenged. Through the figures of cyborgs and androids, writers have often
investigated this concern with the diminishing centrality of humans as the most intelligent species and
sought post-humanist alternatives.
In this analytical paper, you are required to use posthumanism as a framework to argue for/against the
figure of the cyborg or android as holding any promise for the future. In other words, is the hybrid technohuman that newer technology has produced a tool for good or bad in society? Your primary texts will be
Harraways The Cyborg Manifesto and Philip K Dicks Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? But your
analysis can (and perhaps, should) draw on contemporary examples (from literature or real life).

Should be written from scratch because I will have to submit the essay into turnitin.com
