“Norbert Wiener was the brilliant prophet of doom and bliss of human-machine interaction. It is impossible to grasp the past and future obsession for the little networked computers in our pockets without studying Wiener's scripture.”
Thomas Rid, Professor of Strategic Studies, Johns Hopkins University, SAIS; author of Rise of the Machines: A Cybernetic History
It appears impossible for anyone seriously interested in our civilization to ignore this book. It is a 'must' book for those in every branch of science...in addition, economists, politicians, statesmen, and businessmen cannot afford to overlook cybernetics and its tremendous, even terrifying implications. It is a beautifully written book, lucid, direct, and despite its complexity, as readable by the layman as the trained scientist.
