A cyborg is a cybernetic organism (i.e., an organism that has both artificial and natural systems). The term was coined in 1960 when Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline used it in an article about the advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space. D. S. Halacy's Cyborg: Evolution of the Superman in 1965 featured an introduction by Manfred Clynes, who wrote of a "new frontier" that was "not merely space, but more profoundly the relationship between 'inner space' to 'outer space' -a bridge...between mind and matter." The cyborg is often seen today merely as an organism that has enhanced abilities due to technology, but this perhaps oversimplifies the category of feedback.
For years, now, Pentagon-backed researchers have been trying to create cyborg insects that could serve as living, remote-controlled spies. The problem is, those modified bugs never survived long enough to be useful. But soon the Pentagon will announce they’ve managed to create cyborg insects, that will give the US a technological edge in future conflicts.
Ubyka’s cyborg insects are a glimplse of the future, when insects and animals will be fitted with war gear like rockets, cannons, chemical sensors and other deadly devices. With names like Rapidus Explodus Jeticus, the Ubyka armed insects are a force to be reckoned with.
