Pretty decent history of cybernetics and its major 'players', which is what I was looking for, but gets a bit lost in the sauce around certain aspects. Was somewhat (pleasantly) surprised to see Deleuze mentioned in this, since I've been really focusing on a lot of that stuff lately re:philosophy. This seems to really shy away from how capitalism has devoured concepts of cybernetics.. but I think that's maybe not the point of this work anyways.

Started with lots of notes but ended up just kind of letting it wash over me. I'm sure I'll return to this, and will be interested in reading more Deleuze.

Well structured with good research (lots of sources). Made me understand things like syndicalism more clearly. Also made me want to read more Malatesta.

Earnest and clear. A mesh of internal struggles in places. Some of the videos and documents Chelsea leaked were pivotal to changing key aspects of my world view at an earlier age, so it was very interesting to see her detailed experience with it all.
