Actually I think Haraway writes better than Kunzru about her ideas. You can read the original cyborg manifesto below. Like some others whose instinct is to dismiss what she says, I find some of the language wearisome - I've been a long time away from academe and don't understand why they have to speak a different kind of English from the rest of us - but I do think the ideas are fascinating. She's trying at least to build bridges between feminism and science, 'Alien' movies and serious thought, sci-fi and academe. And she's ahead of the game, not late to the party.
