The term isn't just about which half is human though, it's about the dynamic flip in humans relationship with tooling.

The "tool" part of the centaur is the horse body. All of the hard to duplicate bits of a human (reasoning, processing, fine motor skills) with the strength and speed of a horse. A reverse centaur is when a complex system is designed that needs a "dumb human" to do the complex bits while the system uses humans as an appendage.

Reverse centaur may sound clunky but is a really elegant one liner for Doctorow's thesis.

The Bank Job (2008)? Has Jason Stathem. Based on a real heist from the 70s in the UK?

Sexual misconduct allegations popped up around Neil Gaiman. I only say allegations as I don't know if he's officially been charged/convicted, but from the bit I've read when the news first broke, looks like the dude is seriously broken/done terrible things to vulnerable women. Really fucked up my perspective when trying to reread his work...

From The Big Lebowski. Youre correct in your translation :)
