All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace: Part 2. 'The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts' (2011x2)

: 30, 2011

This episode investigates how machine ideas such as cybernetics and systems theory were applied to natural ecosystems, and how this relates to the false idea that there is a balance of nature. Cybernetics has been applied to human beings in an attempt to build societies without central control, self organising networks built of people, based on a fantasy view of nature.
