Description
The Cybernetic Brain: Sketches of Another Future by Andrew Pickering explores the history and potential of cybernetics, focusing on its alternative, experimental approaches to understanding mind, society, and technology. Pickering moves beyond the mainstream, mathematical side of cybernetics to highlight the work of figures like Ross Ashby, Stafford Beer, and Gordon Pask, who envisioned cybernetics as a way to model dynamic, adaptive, and self-organizing systems. The book argues that cybernetics offers a more fluid, non-hierarchical way of thinking about knowledge and reality, challenging rigid scientific and philosophical frameworks. Pickering also examines its applications in governance, artificial intelligence, and even art, suggesting that cybernetics holds untapped potential for reimagining the future. This book is essential for those interested in the history of science, systems theory, and the intersection of technology and philosophy.
