Cyborg theory was first developed by Donna Haraway in "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century". Haraway described the essay:
- This chapter is an effort to build an ironic political myth faithful to feminism, socialism, and materialism. Perhaps more faithful as blasphemy is faithful, than as reverent worship and identification.
The theory responded to identity politics (among other things) by destabilizing natural identity, and focusing on fused identities; as in the ways that humans are fused and infused with technology.
