Cybernetic Revolutionaries: Technology and Politics in Allende's Chile by Eden Medina
5.0
This is a really interesting history on the inextricable link between technological and political models of a system, using the cybernetics and democratic socialism of Chile's cybersyn project as its working example. The author's bias is generally leftist and sympathetic to the project in the face of external factors blocking its success.
If you know someone who thinks that the design and construction of a software (or other technological) system is apolitical and it's other people who choose how to use it, buy them a copy of this book.
