Abstract "Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of controlling the flow of information in systems with feedback loops, be they biological, mechanical, cognitive, or social. This book is widely cited for laying the theoretical foundations of information theory and influencing the development of error-correcting servomechanisms, autonomous navigation, analog computing, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience"-- Provided by publisher.
