ANNOTATION:
cyberntetics and culture

Hello,

I am doing research on the relationship between ceybernetics and culture, in particular, architecture. I would like to know:

1. How/ why did cybernetics start seeping into popular culture in the 1960's? What were the vehicles/ reasons for this? What was particular about the cultural context of the time, and about the Cyberneticians of that time, that supported a flourishing of the field? Who were the writers/thinkers that bridged the gap between cybernetics and other fields (for example, how did Buckminster Fuller influence Cybernetics and v/v?

I am extremely interested to hear what historians of cybernetics/ systems science would have to say about this issue.

Thank you
