Nonfiction books about bionics/cyborgs/similar?

[Emily R.]

I'm honestly not sure what section to put this question under, but I'm going to be a senior in high school next year and I'm in the IB program at my school and currently working on my Extended Essay. It's basically a research paper of sorts. I'm doing mine essentially on the different technologies used in the human body with things such as prosthetics, synthetic eyes, etc. I'm also looking at the question of at what point people with these technologies would be considered cyborgs, and how that would affect our definition of humanity. It's sort of broad and I'll get it narrowed down the further along I go. But my question is, does anyone know of any nonfiction books on that topic or similar that I could use for my research?
