Cybernetics by Norbert WeinerMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
The book was interesting to read. Cybernetics had everything combined into one book. It covers the biological factors as well as the technological and the historical. It gave me a new perspective on how technology is similar to the human body. An example from the text: “The synapse is a coincidence-recorder, and the outgoing fibre is only stimulated if the number of incoming impulses… ” (29).
Overall the book was fascinating to learn about technology in a new perspective, but because this was for a class, I would not have chosen it to read on my free-time unless I wanted to fall asleep.
