Description

This thought-provoking work examines the points where cybernetics—the study of communication, control, and automation—intersects with religious belief and moral inquiry. Drawing on developments in computing, artificial intelligence, biology, and social systems, it considers what machines can reveal about human creativity, responsibility, and the nature of life. Norbert Wiener explores the promise and peril of technological power while questioning how traditional ideas of God, creation, and human agency must respond to an increasingly automated world. Written with intellectual rigor and philosophical reach, the book remains a significant meditation on technology’s ethical and spiritual consequences.
