Interesting application of cybernetic theory to anarchist organising

4 stars

Does a good job of explaining cybernetic terminology & concepts whilst remaining accessible to most readers. Applies Stafford Beer's (of Project CYBERSYN fame) Viable Systems Model to anarchist organising, creating a framework by which to build sustainable and effective organisations.

The last few chapters felt a bit under-cooked, however, almost as if they were tacked on to fill out the page-count.
