||0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.| An important book on the early history of information theory, computation, and control.|By Gustav Derkits|The author has done a service to the history of technology by thoroughly researching original work that is now almost forgotten in today's fully digital world. This book is especially useful in discussing the role of information and computing as elements of feedback control| ||"[Mindell's] account of this complex story of engineering, people, and organizations―academic, industrial and govenment―is well researched and well told."

Today, we associate the relationship between feedback, control, and computing with Norbert Wiener's 1948 formulation of cybernetics. But the theoretical and practical foundations for cybernetics, control engineering, and digital computing were laid earlier, between the two world wars. In Between Human and Machine: Feedback, Control, and Computing before Cybernetics, David A. Mindell shows how the modern sciences of systems emerged from disparate engineering cu...
