Cyborg #1, a sentient being who adopts the guise of a human through actress Joan Chen, engages in an exercise of self-reflection on her role in history and tells a story: a life, her own, conditioned by the militarized, warmongering context that motivates technological innovation, from encrypted and decrypted underwater communications systems during World War II to the genesis of cyborgs during the Vietnam War.
