After publishing Cybernetics in 1948, Norbert Wiener wrote The Human Use of Human Beings (1950). In the introduction he explains, “Upon the publication of this book (Cybernetics) which possesses a rather forbidding mathematical core, some of my friends urged upon me that I should write a related book for the layman, in which I should avoid mathematical symbolism and ideas as much as possible, and in which I should emphasize the not inconsiderable social consequences of my point of view.”
