If I’m reading this text right then Haraway rejects the view that had been prominent through Marx and Freud of there being an innate desire for a wholeness that we lost along the way somewhere. Instead she embraces the breaking up, the differences, the barriers to communication, the transgressions of boundaries as this gives every individual the right to “write their own story”.

Even though she quotes the “women of colour” as a new ideology and this seems to refer to some sort of community I’m wondering whether her portrayal of the cyborg isn’t by definition an extremely isolated and lonely creature? Is this really a positive development?
