Synopsis

""Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine"" is a seminal work by Norbert Wiener, first published in 1948. The book explores the concept of cybernetics, which is the study of control and communication in both living beings and machines. Wiener argues that there are fundamental similarities between the ways that biological organisms and machines process information, and that these similarities can be harnessed to create more efficient and effective systems.The book covers a wide range of topics, including feedback loops, information theory, and the role of the nervous system in controlling behavior. Wiener also discusses the implications of cybernetics for fields such as psychology, economics, and engineering. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex interactions between different systems in order to create more intelligent and adaptable machines.""Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine"" is considered a classic work in the field of cybernetics, and has had a profound influence on a wide range of disciplines. It is written in a clear and accessible style, making it accessible to both experts and non-experts alike. For anyone interested in the intersection of biology, technology, and philosophy, this book is essential reading.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.
