Cybernetics reminds me of cyborgs. They mentioned artificial intelligence in the book and it made me think of the Terminator. I know it's only sci-fi, but I've been really into the idea of intelligent machines ever since I saw this movie as a kid. The weird thing is that all these movies about smart machines that probably come from cybernetics seem to paint the future as dark and violent, or at least inhuman. Movies like the Matrix and stuff. Anyhow, I just thought of this image when I read about cybernetics, and how an MIT scientist came up with the whole idea. MIT guys are always the ones making Robocop or some other cyborg in the movies. There's alos lots of videogames based on that cybernetics idea of machines going out of control with artificial intelligence. I guess it's a way to make communications seem inhuman. Then, if it's not human, you can just shoot up the stuff and have no worries. Total carnage, I love it! (That's a line from Smash TV an old classic Nintendo shooting game with lots of robots. It was made after another Arnold movie--the Running Man). So, I guess the cybernetics thing is really everywhere in pop culture now. What do you think about cyborgs and A.I.?
