Only a few books stand as landmarks in social and scientific upheaval. Norbert Wiener's classic is one in that small company. Founder of the science of cybernetics—the study of the relationship between computers and the human nervous system—Wiener was widely misunderstood as one who advocated the automation of human life. As this book reveals, his vision was much more complex and interesting. He hoped that machines would release people from relentless and repetitive drudgery in order to achieve more creative pursuits. At the same time he realized the danger of dehumanizing and displacement. His book examines the implications of cybernetics for education, law, language, science, technology, as he anticipates the enormous impact—in effect, a third industrial revolution—that the computer has had on our lives.
少宏之前推荐这本书是从人工智能的角度推荐给我的,我查了下豆瓣,许多人为其广博的学问而折服,便拿来研读了一遍。 书比较清晰地阐明了“熵”对我们人身处宇宙中位置的解释。这里的述说与我看到罗素、薛定谔的言论一致,维纳在这本书里说的最清晰。 维纳18岁便拿到...
評分“...我愿表明,人之所以能够进行大量学习和研究工作,乃是生理地装备了这种能力的,而蚂蚁则缺乏这种能力。多样性和可能性乃是人的感官所固有的特性,而且它们确实是理解人的壮丽飞跃的关键所在,因为多样性和可能性都是人的结构本身所特有的东西。 我们即使可以把人的远远超...
評分维纳是个科学家,但却没想到这小子却是如此有才,能把信息通讯这个概念提升社会学意义上乃至哲学意义上,看这本书是为了打算看《控制论》做准备的。信息只有区别原来已经存在的或者对于你是未知的才是有价值的,一个区域的通讯集中程度往往与该区域的经济发展成正比,所以政府...
評分 評分第二次被要求讀這本50年代的暢銷書。上次從post-humanism的角度,這次從media theory的角度。上次覺得年代感很足,作者說的在當今已然是共識瞭。這次倒發現有些東西又迴來瞭 - “The Marxist Queen is very arbitrary indeed, and the fascist Queen is a good match for her” (193). 另外上豆瓣纔發現這本書中譯叫“人有人的用處”,說實話這麼翻譯感覺完全變成瞭另一本書。雖然原書由於時代局限也難逃人類中心主義,但”the human use of human beings”傳遞的是一種比較悲觀的情緒,而“人有人的用處”感覺是我們都有光明的前途,不懂這個翻譯。
