Dear Cyborgs is a 2017 novel with elements of speculative fiction by American writer Eugene Lim.

[1] He nevertheless wrote it in "a state of despair" due to climate change and economic inequality, which he refers to as two “slow apocalypses”.

[1] Lim has said that he believes "...superheroes are the central mythology of our collective global era" on their inclusion in the novel.

[2] Robert Creeley's The Island and Eileen Myles’ Inferno—both "poet's novels"—influenced Lim's authorial presence.

[2] The novel alternates between several settings, including a "white-bread suburban" town in Ohio during the 1980s, and New York City circa 2011, during a fictionalized version of Occupy Wall Street.
