THIS BOOK CONTAINS THE RESULTS OF TWO INDEPENDENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL
STUDIES CONDUCTED IN THE HEART OF GLASTONBURY TOWN CENTRE AT 11
HIGH STREET, NOW THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUSY DOUBLE AWARD-WINNING
GAUNTLET SHOPPING THOROUGHFARE. The studies were commissioned by
the Developer and Landlord/owner Doug Hill between 2005-2007. They
were request ed as a pre-condition for planning by Somerset
CountyCouncil as it was considered imperative to document the
history of the site, the development of which offered a unique
opportunity prior to the commencement of the building works. This
is a Grade 2 listed building positioned in the centre of a
conservation area in the heart of Glastonbury (adjacent to the Tri
- bunal, a Grade 1 Listed building) and as such is considered to be
of great importance. The land at 11 High Street was stripped,
mapped and the artefacts logged. The broad spectrum of finds were
subsequently donated to the Somerset Museum, Taunton. THE
ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS CONTAINED IN THIS BOOK IS COMPREHENSIVE.

There's a well-known story about an older fish who swims by two
younger fish and asks, "How's the water?" The younger fish are
puzzled. "What's water?" they ask. Many of us today might ask a
similar question: What's technology? Technology defines the world
we live in, yet we're so immersed in it, so encompassed by it, that
we mostly take it for granted. Seldom, if ever, do we stop to ask
what technology is. Failing to ask that question, we fail to
perceive all the ways it might be shaping us. Usually when we hear
the word "technology," we automatically think of digital devices
and their myriad applications. As revolutionary as smartphones,
online shopping, and social networks may seem, however, they fit
into long-standing, deeply entrenched patterns of technological
thought as well as practice. Generations of skeptics have
questioned how well served we are by those patterns of thought and
practice, even as generations of enthusiasts have promised that the
latest innovations will deliver us, soon, to Paradise. We're not
there yet, but the cyber utopians of Silicon Valley keep telling us
it's right around the corner. What is technology, and how is it
shaping us? In search of answers to those crucial questions, Not So
Fast draws on the insights of dozens of scholars and artists who
have thought deeply about the meanings of machines. The book
explores such dynamics as technological drift, technological
momentum, technological disequilibrium, and technological autonomy
to help us understand the interconnected, interwoven, and
interdependent phenomena of our technological world. In the course
of that exploration, Doug Hill poses penetrating questions of his
own, among them: Do we have as much control over our machines as we
think? And who can we rely on to guide the technological forces
that will determine the future of the planet?

A classic and influential work that laid the theoretical
foundations for information theory and a timely text for
contemporary informations theorists and practitioners. With the
influential book Cybernetics, first published in 1948, Norbert
Wiener laid the theoretical foundations for the multidisciplinary
field of cybernetics, the study of controlling the flow of
information in systems with feedback loops, be they biological,
mechanical, cognitive, or social. At the core of Wiener's theory is
the message (information), sent and responded to (feedback); the
functionality of a machine, organism, or society depends on the
quality of messages. Information corrupted by noise prevents
homeostasis, or equilibrium. And yet Cybernetics is as
philosophical as it is technical, with the first chapter devoted to
Newtonian and Bergsonian time and the philosophical mixed with the
technical throughout. This book brings the 1961 second edition back
into print, with new forewords by Doug Hill and Sanjoy Mitter.
Contemporary readers of Cybernetics will marvel at Wiener's
prescience-his warnings against "noise," his disdain for
"hucksters" and "gadget worshipers," and his view of the mass media
as the single greatest anti-homeostatic force in society. This
edition of Cybernetics gives a new generation access to a classic
text.
