Rezension

“The result of this breathtaking enterprise was nothing less than a new way of looking at human beings.” — N. Katherine Hayles: How We Became Posthuman


“I think that cybernetics is the biggest bite out of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that mankind has taken in the last 2000 years.” — Gregory Bateson: From Versailles to Cybernetics


"The reading of this volume gives an unusual stimulation because of the mainly extemporaneously-presented subjects and the unprepared discussions on the highest level. It brings the reader into the presence of creative research.“ — The Psychiatric Quarterly
