Weiner's withdrawal, Hayles' deconstruction

I'm interested in Hayles' depiction of how Weiner, "struggled to envision the cybernetic machine in the image of the humanistic self" (86).  She observes how his alliance between human and the machine in terms of their identical capabilities to self-regulate, enabled a cyborg subject to emerge which can undermine the very autonomy that is realized by the liberal humanistic tradition.  Hayles does a good job illuminating Weiner's ambivalence which arises from his imagined alliance between machine and human.  The "horrified withdrawal" that Hayles envisions Weiner to make when he sees his liberal subjectivity replaced by the cyborg subject, captures a significant consequence of Weiner's cybernetic discourse (87).  Hayles describes how within this discourse, Weiner attempts the impossible task of designating a cybernetic machine that will enhance the autonomy of the liberal humanist subject.  Weiner's extension of the human subject, "into the realm of the machine," will therefore enact a new subjectivity that ultimately cannot be contained by liberal humanistic values (86).

Weiner's cybernetic discourse, in which information is linked to pattern without materiality appears to obscure for Hayles a complimentary and potentially emancipatory relationship between pattern and presence.  I'm interested in how Hayles reconstructs the cyborg subject within a cybernetic discourse which requires the deconstruction, rather than the enhancement of or withdrawal from the liberal human subject.
