The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society Weiner NorbertPaperback
Only a few books stand as landmarks in social and scientific upheaval. Founder of the science of cybernetics--the study of the relationship between computers and the human nervous system--Wiener was widely misunderstood as one who advocated the automation of human life. Norbert Wiener's classic is one in that small company.
He hoped that machines would release people from relentless and repetitive drudgery in order to achieve more creative pursuits. As this book reveals, his vision was much more complex and interesting. At the same time he realized the danger of dehumanizing and displacement.
His book examines the implications of cybernetics for education, law, language, science, technology, as he anticipates the enormous impact--in effect, a third industrial revolution--that the computer has had on our lives.
