It appers 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. -- John B. Thurston, The Saturday Review of Literature Acclaimed one of the seminal books . . . comparable in ultimate importance to . . . Galileo or Malthus or Rousseau or Mill, Cybernetics was judged by twenty-seven historians, economists, educators, and philosophers to be one of those books published during the past four decades, which may have a substantial impact on public thought and action in the years ahead. -- Saturday Review Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
