Cyborgs are people whose bodies contain mechanical or electrical devices. Often, their abilities are greater than the abilities of normal humans.[1]
Physical description
Edit
Cyborg parts are physical components of the body. They work in harmony with the brain and nervous system, and function just as biological limbs do (although without the physical sensation). A cyborg's brain-machine interface is basically just a smart phone, computer, and television all combined in one, although not all cyborgs possess these interfaces.[2]
Attitude toward cyborgs
Edit
Most people in the Earthen Union disregard cyborgs and see them as inferior compared to humans. Most believe that cyborgs are similar to androids: they do not have feelings and do not know what love is. Linh Adri stresses this when her daughter dies from letumosis and she blames Cinder for her daughter's demise, asking Cinder if her kind even knows what sadness really is.
