It was one of those golden afternoons in Barcelona, the kind that makes the city feel timeless, as though the streets themselves are suspended in warmth and light. I had arranged a Skype call with Professor Kevin Warwick, a man whose name had become synonymous with the future—a pioneer in cybernetics, and most famously, the world’s first official scientific cyborg. As I sat at my desk, watching the late afternoon sunlight stretch across the room, I felt the weight of what we were about to discuss. This wasn’t just a conversation about science or technology. We were going to explore life, death, and what lies between them in a world where the lines between biology and technology are becoming ever more blurred.

An Interview with Kevin Warwick: Cyborg Identity, Techno-death, and the Future of Being Human

  • Jordi Vallverdú

摘要

It was one of those golden afternoons in Barcelona, the kind that makes the city feel timeless, as though the streets themselves are suspended in warmth and light. I had arranged a Skype call with Professor Kevin Warwick, a man whose name had become synonymous with the future—a pioneer in cybernetics, and most famously, the world’s first official scientific cyborg. As I sat at my desk, watching the late afternoon sunlight stretch across the room, I felt the weight of what we were about to discuss. This wasn’t just a conversation about science or technology. We were going to explore life, death, and what lies between them in a world where the lines between biology and technology are becoming ever more blurred.
