Synopsis

""Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine"" is a groundbreaking book by Norbert Wiener that explores the concept of cybernetics, which is the study of communication and control in living organisms and machines. Wiener argues that the principles of communication and control can be applied to both natural and artificial systems, and that understanding these principles can lead to advances in fields such as engineering, biology, and psychology. The book covers a wide range of topics, including feedback systems, information theory, and the role of the nervous system in controlling behavior. It also discusses the ethical implications of cybernetics and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on society. Overall, ""Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine"" is a seminal work that has had a profound influence on modern science and technology.This Is A Study Of Human Control Functions And Mechanico-Electrical Systems Designed To Replace Them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
