AB  - Argues that Tempest anticipates late twentieth-century cyborg theory through its character Caliban. Observes that Caliban’s “creatureliness” extends human bounds in ways that resonate with the political focus in cyborg studies on intersection of feminism and colonialist discourse. Views Alex Garland’s film Ex Machina as idiosyncratic adaptation of Tempest that reveals posthuman implications of Shakespeare’s play.
