Dr. Glen Slater’s newest book, Jung vs Borg, contends the industrial disruption of the outer world has been followed by a post-industrial disruption of the inner world. Prominent plans to merge humans and machines, focused on the joining of minds and computers, are shown to be outgrowths of this disruption. This perspective propels the book\u2019s critical assessment of the posthuman movement and leads to a depth psychological encounter with the cyborg\u2014an image of human-machine hybridization that stands at the vanishing point on today\u2019s techno-scientific horizon. Building on its response to the loss of instinct in the industrial era, Jung\u2019s psychology of the unconscious is simultaneously shown to occupy a pivotal position in the increasingly pressing counter-cultural confrontation with the soulless excesses of the post-industrial, digital era.<\/p>\n
