The Brain and Machine

'''Wiener, Norbert. "The Brain and Machine."' In Dimensions of Mind''. Sidney Hook, ed. New York: New York UP, 1960,.

Bierman, "Automated Theatre," q.v. under Drama Criticism). See for early contribution to AI debate by a crucial figure in the development of cybernetics (indeed, inventor of the term).
