The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society
Description
In this pioneering work, the founder of cybernetics explores how communication, computation, and feedback connect machines, the human nervous system, and society. He considers the promise of technology to free people from repetitive labor and expand creative possibility, while warning of the social, ethical, and economic dangers of automation and dehumanization. Spanning education, law, language, science, and industry, the book offers a far-reaching meditation on how technological change reshapes human life—and on the responsibility required to guide that change wisely.
