Paper Summary:

This paper is a review of Anthony McCreery's essay "Cybernetic Culture: An Analysis of the Impact of 'Cybernetic Films" and how McCreery analyzes whether these films can be used to understand contemporary culture.

From the Paper:

"Until recently, cybernetics has been confined to the realm of science and technological study. However, the impact of cybernetics, and more specifically second-order cybernetics, has gradually become apparent in areas such as mainstream film and literature. Popular movies such as "The Matrix," "Being John Malkovich," "Fight Club," and "The Terminator" illustrate the growing influence of cybernetic theory on popular culture. In his essay "Cybernetics and Culture: An Analysis of the Impact of "Cybernetic Films," Anthony McCreery uses modern films to analyze whether or not cybernetics is an appropriate ideology for understanding contemporary culture."
