- 'Cyborg Theology', a 240 page monograph, argues for new and fruitful ways of thinking about the complex and controversial ‘cyborg’ figure alongside different models of theological anthropology. The scope of the book, and the limited amount of prior research linking cyborgs and theology, meant that a wide range of sources were consulted in theology, philosophy, Science and Technology Studies, and sociology. This interdisciplinary work culminated in a detailed and critical exploration of the cyborg figure, understood in various humanist and posthumanist contexts, and in so doing, considered the legacy of theological accounts of anthropogeny in contemporary popular culture.
