“Seduction of a Cyborg” presents technology as an infectious disease women are seduced into: The protagonist, a blind woman, agrees to physical treatment that allows her to see images via computer-screen transmission. The new technology drags her into a different, hyper-mediated world that seriously affects her health after an initial period of intense pleasure: “Images of simulated worlds, sounds, masked passions gave enormous pleasure. The addiction came quickly. But each dose altered and decoded biological ecology […] Her immune system suffered. Still, she couldn’t stop. And soon there was no choice. Even her hearing became apparent. The manipulation was thorough and unprejudiced. She witnessed the pollution of history. Her body, a battlefield of depraved privacy, loneliness and terror, succumbed to the inevitable.
