Noted science fiction and technology theorist Alan Shapiro examines Star Trek in relation to the cyborg theory of Donna Haraway.

Mr. Spock of The Original Series is a classic cyborg figure, as is Seven of Nine of Voyager.

Shapiro also explains the history of cybernetics and Artificial Life through Star Trek. There is a lengthy discussion of Haraway's work as well as N. Katherine Hayles' "How We Became Posthuman."

The following Star Trek episodes are discussed:

"This Side of Paradise," "The Devil in the Dark," "Amok Time," "Spock's Brain," "A Private Little War," "Operation -- Annihilate!," and "Journey to Babel" from The Original Series.

"Unification" and "Q Who?" from The Next Generation.

"Scorpion," "Dark Frontier," "The Gift", "The Raven," and "Survival Instinct" from Voyager.
