"The new and rapidly
growing field of communication sciences owes as much to
Norbert Wiener as to any one man. He coined the word for
it - cybernetics. In God and Golem, Inc., the
author concerned himself with major points in cybernetics
which are relevant to religious issues. The first point
he considers is that of the machine which learns... A
second point concerns machines which have the capacity to
reproduce themselves... The third point considered is
that of the relation between man and machine..." (from backcover MIT Press 1963)
