Meghna Rao, interviewing the folks who run the Cybernetics Library:
David has a recurring joke about the library. It doesn’t only contain books about cybernetics — it actually behaves cybernetically […] systems that react to and change themselves according to feedback.
David Isaac Hecht:
It’s very hypertext — it has that vibe. […] The books’ organization reflects a lot of how people have used it. We’re always trying to build infrastructure that makes it accessible. We don’t try to force any pre-organized systems on anyone, we’re just gently curating.
Something important and personal about codifying connections among resources. If we don’t connect the dots, the dots are just noise.
