520    "The cyborg - an organic body augmented with technology - 
       is an enduring figure that can be found across science 
       fiction stories, novels, films, and, more recently, 
       television. What can its marked presence in cult TV shows 
       tell us about the rapidly changing world we live in, and 
       indeed about the human condition? This book explored how 
       the image of the cyborg attracts our fears and 
       fascinations. These bionic creations encourage us, as 
       viewers, to think about our interactions with technology 
       in an age of immediacy and surveillance, reassess our own 
       corporeal experiences, and re-imagine gender binaries and 
       racial differences. Chapters draw together cyborg theory 
       and criticism from science fiction and television studies 
       to analyse a variety a popular series. From Doctor Who to 
       Stor Trek: Voyager, and Battlestar Galactica to Terminator
       : The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the cyborg appears as 
       action hero, villain, or as a reflection of ourselves. 
       Whether manifested in the Daleks, the Cylons, or the Borg,
       these figures are ideal sites to explore concepts such as 
       replication, uniformly, performance, embodiment and 
       virtuality, and the serial narratives of cult TV offer the
       ideal format to analyse changing cyborg representations 
       over time. This book uses the televisual medium as a tool 
       to understand a range of cybernetic characters, forming a 
       notable event in a growing field that will delight 
       scholars and fans of futuristic television alike."--
