Reviews

This pioneering study brings cybernetics to bear on anarchism to interrogate the sustainability of radical democracy. The result is a masterclass in organisation theory and strategy which encompasses contemporary movement and social media analysis. Ruth Kinna, Loughborough University Swann's work on cybernetics and anarchism couldn't be more relevant at this moment. It will inspire the design of more radical, democratic and self-organised post COVID-19 societies and political systems. Angela Espinosa, University of Hull Cybernetics can help bring about a fairer society, but in order to make it successful, we must create, regulate and produce ways of effective self-organisation. This book opens ways to achieve just that. Raul Espejo, President of World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics
