Peter Kawalek » Blog Archive » Ideas For Our Times: The Legacy of Stafford Beer.
I'm really looking forward to reading this essay about the great, or at least enormously complex, Stafford Beer. There's a book coming out about his Cybersyn project in Chile with Allende, but if ever someone qualified for a full-on biography it would be yogi/poet/cybernetic Johnny Appleseed/management consultant/aesthete/etc. Beer. Going to finish this on the train one of these days.
