Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine is a seminal book by mathematician and philosopher Norbert Wiener. Originally published in 1948, the book explores the concept of cybernetics, which Wiener defines as the study of control and communication in both living organisms and machines. Wiener argues that there are fundamental similarities between the way that living organisms and machines process information and interact with their environments.
