Recipe for a cyborg nation.

Start with one of the most interesting - yet oddly disconcerting - books of satire and speculation that I have ever read:

Fold in a little modern controversy:

Amputee Sprinter

Sprinkle some knowledge of the Transhumanism Movement, Modern Pop-Culture "Cyborg" research, and CyberPunk (Informatics, etc)

And thus we have the (very beginnings of) a debate. Get to reading, friends! I'll be back later with some thoughts.
