Language, Mathematics, and Ideology SIAM NEWS November 7, 2002 Book Review Philip J. Davis From Newspeak to Cyberspeak: A History of Soviet Cybernetics. By Slava Gerovitch, MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 2002, 369 pages (54 of which are notes and references; illustrated with numerous photos of Soviet personalities) When I first learned of this book and read the first reviews several years ago, I immediately book this book on my want list. Never got hold of it, though. Now I'm reminded of the thick oppressive abusive fog of ideological language that strangled the Soviet mind throughout nearly all of its existence. Something to keep in mind when dealing with the undead. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list Marxism-Thaxis@lists.econ.utah.edu To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
