Maya Nakanishi, and other cool photos of cyborgs. With the likes of Oscar Pistorius taking the world stage, it is the age of the bionic athletes, I have foreseen it.

I say bionic, but a better term is “cyborg,” and by “cyborg” I mean people with prostheses that don’t just replace what’s lost, but improve upon it. This is a big step, as we’re entering an age where we’re forced to ask whether people with certain prostheses are actually more capable than those without.  We’re entering an age where “handicapped” will be an even more inaccurate term than it already is.
