Abstract:
The idea of Cyborg initiates the blurring of frontiers between traditional gender roles in the post-modern era, transforming itself into a politicized entity. William Gibson’s Neuromancer as an early introducer of the Cyborg characters tries to dissolve the boundaries through his female characters by balancing the power quota with the help of the non-gendered entity of the Cyborg. According to Donna Haraway there will be a dawn of new cyborg era causing a gender role reversal. The objective of this paper is to find whether such role reversal is at all possible.
