I enjoyed reading “A Cyborg Manifesto” although it was one of the more difficult reads this semester. What really stuck out to me about this piece is how we as humans can expand boundaries by blurring the lines; this will help society come away from the stereotypical gender roles. We need to stop focusing on the opposite ends of the spectrum and instead focus on all else within it.
Until reading this piece, I never saw an apocalypse as something positive because it is typically seen as negative. I enjoyed how Haraway is saying that we should think of an apocalypse as opening up new opportunities, not as being the end. Her redefining apocalypse made me redefine apocalypse. For example, if an apocalypse leads to someone becoming a hybrid, the norm is broken down.
