This thesis explores the historical background of the cyborg phenomenon and the definition of the term itself. The analysis focuses on the technological implants and technologies that can transform a human being into a cyborg. Specifically developed for the thesis, the comparison matrix helps readers to see a more complete picture of the topic from three points of view. In relation to the current technological landscape, research findings allow us to identify two major camps: those who claim with certainty that we are already cyborgs, and those who say that we are still far from the kind of cyborg whose image is perpetuated by the media. The stance of these techno-optimists and techno-pessimists is clearly articulated in two interviews made directly for this research project. This thesis takes a position in the camp of techno-optimists and develops this view further in the master work.
