The Human Use of Human Beings
Book • 1950
Published in 1950 and revised in 1954, 'The Human Use of Human Beings' argues for the benefits of automation to society, analyzing the meaning of productive communication and discussing ways for humans and machines to cooperate.
Wiener emphasizes the potential for machines to amplify human power, release people from manual labor, and enable more creative pursuits.
He also explores the risks of dehumanization and subordination and offers suggestions on how to avoid these risks, advocating for the use of machines to increase leisure and enrich spiritual life rather than solely for profits.
