- W1996624676 abstract "The Soft Machine, originally published in 1985, represents a significant contribution to study of contemporary literature in larger cultural and scientific context. David Porush shows how concepts of cybernetics and artificial intelligence that have sparked our present revolution in computer and information technology have also become source for images and techniques in our most highly sophisticated literature, postmodern by Barthelme, Barth, Pynchon, Beckett, Burroughs, Vonnegut and others. With considerable skill, Porush traces growth of the metaphor of machine as it evolves both technologically and in literature of twentieth century. He describes birth of cybernetics, gives one of clearest accounts for a lay audience of its major concepts and shows growth of philosophical resistance to mechanical model for human intelligence and communication which cybernetics promotes, a model that had grown increasingly influential in previous decade. The Soft Machine shows postmodern synthesizing inviting metaphors and concepts of cybernetics with ideals of art, a synthesis that results in what Porush calls fiction alive to myths and images of a cybernetic age." @default.
