Handout film still from Cyborg: A Documentary. Colour-blind artist Neil Harbisson is the world?s first formally-recognised cyborg. He has an antenna implanted in his head that allows him to ?hear? colour. Now Neil is on a mission to convince the world to follow him and adopt his credo: Design Yourself. Neil?s childhood friend Moon Ribas has collaborated with him on his journey. A dancer and choreographer, she has had implants in her arm and foot which allow her to perceive earthquakes from all over the planet as vibrations in her body. In Carey Born?s engaging documentary Neil and Moon confront their detractors head-on, communicating their controversial ideas about the technological future of humankind.

SAN FRANCISCO - SEPTEMBER 20: Freshly printed copies of the San Francisco Chronicle run through the printing press at one of the Chronicle's printing facilities September 20, 2007 in San Francisco, California. Newspaper sales in the U.S. continue to slide as people turn to the internet and television for their news. The Chronicle saw its circulation plunge more than 15 percent in 2006 to 398,000 during the week which has hurt newspaper vendor Rick Gaub's business. Unable to sell as many papers as he used to, Gaub is looking for a new way to earn money after selling papers for 42 years. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
