Over a month ago, I said I was taking notes while reading Tiqqun's 'The
Cybernetic Hypothesis'. I've finally finished:
http://joss.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2010/07/06/reading-the-cybernetic-hypothesis/
Note that, for those who want a longer summary, more complete notes are
linked to here:
http://joss.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/files/2010/07/Cybernetic-Hypothesis.pdf
I should say that a lot of this is new to me, so I've tended to cover
what I understand at face value. This is not a review, but notes I might
use to later include in something else I write (no idea what!).
People on this list will know this subject area much better than I do,
so please leave comments here or on my blog so that I might learn from you.
Much appreciated.
Joss
