What is An Introduction to Cybernetics about?
ix, 295 pages : 24 cm "Cybernetics offers the hope of providing effective methods for the study, and control, of systems that are intrinsically extremely complex. It will do this by first marking out what is achievable (for probably many of the investiagions of the past attempted the impossible), and then providing generalised strategies, of demonstable value, that can be used uniformly in a variety of special cases. In this way it offers the hope of providing the essential methods by which to attack the ils--psychological, social, economic--which at present are defeating us by their instrinsic complexity."--Chapter 1, pages 6-7 Includes bibliographical references (page 273) and index New York : John Wiley & Sons, 1956
