The Virtuous Cyborg by Chris Bateman
Literary Nonfiction. Fiction. Hybrid Genre. You do everything on your smartphone and love it--you are, now and forevermore, a cyborg. But how would you know if you were a good cyborg? Game designer and philosopher Chris Bateman explores cyborg virtue through problems such as cyberbullying, fake news, and the indifference of computers to human needs. Bateman reveals our shallow-sightedness in the face of the unfathomable complexity of our cybernetic networks. Critical yet optimistic, THE VIRTUOUS CYBORG rises to the challenge of the twenty-first century by asking us to ponder the question of what kind of cyborgs we want to become.Chris Bateman is an award-winning narrative designer who has worked as a writer and game designer on over sixty game projects. He was the first person in the world to get a doctorate in the aesthetics of play and games, and he received the IGDA's MVP Award for founding and overseeing their extremely successful Game Writers Special Interest Group.
