Episode on the history of non/anti-cybernetics (Game/Automata/Double Bind Theory) developed in the UK, US, USSR, and China and what that means for us today: cognitive autonomy, surveillance, breaking out of the cyberculture, etc. Throught the 20th century complexity studies were conducted globally by social psychologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians in capitalist and socialist countries alike, and despite them all adopting the same trendy word at one point or another: "Cybernetics", that wasn't exactly what they were all just doing. And they certainly weren't aiming for the same outcome of streamlined logistical matrices--and depending on the cultural, social, and national context, sometimes aimed for the opposite!
