The Human Use of Human Beings
Cybernetics and Society
By Norbert Wiener
Audiobook Edition 1
Read to you by:
Microsoft Zira
Audiobook Editor's Note:
Zira was a pleasure to work with and I hope you also agree they are wonderful to listen to. I highly recommend this work to anyone, especially someone entering the world of control systems. This book does not have the mathematical depth of Wiener's earlier work, Cybernetics, which makes it perfect for this medium.

Errors in the txt conversions were fixed to match the PDF scans. Text such as page numbers and drawn out citations were removed. The 'duplicate' preface was also regrettably removed. The index was removed.
At some point, I would like to do a full read through on a PC and fix and remaining errors, increase comfort, somewhat direct the experience, and put the original preface at the end.
