Cyborgs!Follow

They are covered in my computing course, and therefore we covered some of the research into cyborg technology that has been done in the area.
There is this prominent figure, a lecturer at Reading University, his name is Kevin Warwick. He's just such a weird mad scientist who modified his own body to have a sonar sense and wants to fight wars with organic robots. And he relates it all in such a bored sounding way, you'd think he's actually not human himself. I think he might have suffered some brain damage.

That guy makes cyborgs sound boring.
That's quite a feat.

I find Stelarc to be much more interesting.
