CYBERNETICFUTURITYANDTHEFRAGMENTATIONOF HUMANITYINMARGEPIERCY’SHE, SHE AND IT

We are living in a world where technology and machines are inextricably
intertwined with human life. The amalgamation of humanity in a corporatized, post
apocalyptic world has become inevitable. Fragmentation acquires symbolic and
thematic meaning in dystopian or posthuman literature, frequently signifying the
breakdown of the body, society, or mind. He She and It examines the fuzziness of the
lines separating nature and technology, human and machine, individuality and
manufactured identity. Piercy explores how technological developments subvert
conventional ideas of selfhood, agency, and emotional connection through the cyborg
character Yod and the parallel story of the Golem of Prague. The story depicts a
posthuman state in which gender, memory, and consciousness are socially and
cybernetically constructed rather than biologically fixed. Dislocated identities,
corporate dominance, environmental degradation, and digital alienation are some of
the ways that the fragmentation of humanity is portrayed. Piercy enhances the prospect
of alternative hybrid ways of living that embraces diversity and oppose oppression. It
explores how He, She, and It imagines a future influenced by the dangers and
opportunities of cybernetic integration. This study analyses what it means to be human
in a world where machines increasingly control our mind and body
