n nAs 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 centurys pivotal ideas.n nSpringing 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 forces foray into virtual space, as well as crypto-anarchists fighting for internet freedom.n nIn Rise of the Machines, Thomas Rid draws on unpublished sources--including interviews with hippies, anarchists, sleuths, and spies--to offer an unparalleled perspective into our anxious embrace of technology.n
