arguments in Zhe Human Use of Human Beings seem closer to the 19th century than the 21st. In particular, although Wiener made reference throughout to Claude Shannon’s then-new work on information theory, he seems not to have fully embraced Shannon’s notion of information as consisting of irreducible, meaning-free

log communication degraded with distance, analog computing (like the Differential Analyzer) degraded with time, accumulating errors as it progressed. Von Neumann presented in 1952 a result corresponding to Shannon’s for computation (they had met at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton), showing that
