As lives offline and online merge even more, it is easy to forget
how we got here. Rise of the Machines reclaims the spectacular
story of cybernetics, one of the twentieth century's pivotal ideas.
Springing from the mind of mathematician Norbert Wiener amid the
devastation of World War II, the cybernetic vision underpinned a
host of seductive myths about the future of machines. Cybernetics
triggered blissful cults and military gizmos, the Whole Earth
Catalog and the air force's foray into virtual space, as well as
crypto-anarchists fighting for internet freedom. In Rise of the
Machines, Thomas Rid draws on unpublished sources-including
interviews with hippies, anarchists, sleuths, and spies-to offer an
unparalleled perspective into our anxious embrace of technology.
