WIENER (Norbert).
Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine. Paris, Hermann & Cie; Cambridge, Mass, The Technology Press; New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1948. In-8, stapled under orange cover, modern canvas box. Original edition. First edition, No. 1053 from the collection of Hermann's Science and Industry News. This is the very first print run, prior to those made for the New York edition. Founding work of cybernetics, a concept popularized by the American mathematician Norbert Wiener (1894-1964) to designate the science that studies the processes of control and communication in living beings and machines. Cybernetics has revolutionized modern society since it gave rise to computer science (see Jeremy M. Norman, From Gutenberg to the Internet, 2005, 7.3, pp. 309-318). Very nice copy, despite a few bites on the slices.
