Cybernetics is here defined as \"the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine\"-in a word, as the art of steersmanship; and this book will interest all who are interested in cybernetics, communication theory and methods for regulation and control. W. Ross Ashby (1903-1972) was an English psychiatrist and a pioneer in cybernetics, the study of complex systems. His two books, \"Design for a Brain\" and \"An Introduction to Cybernetics,\" were landmark works. They introduced exact and logical thinking into the nascent discipline and were highly influential.
