Natural-Born Cyborgs

Book • 2003
Andy Clark's "Natural Born Cyborgs" delves into the intricate relationship between humans, technology, and cognition.

The book challenges traditional views of the mind by proposing that our cognitive processes are not solely confined to the brain but extend into the tools and technologies we use.

Clark argues that our minds are inherently intertwined with our environment and the artifacts we interact with, blurring the lines between internal and external cognitive processes.

This perspective has significant implications for understanding intelligence, consciousness, and the future of human-machine interaction.

The book's central theme is the seamless integration of technology into our cognitive architecture, shaping our thoughts, actions, and understanding of the world.

Clark's work has been influential in shaping the field of extended cognition.
