I: Information theory, technology, culture (before 1989):

76. Dennett, Daniel C. Brainstorms: Philosophic Essays on Mind and Psychology. Analyses of problems of mind, brain, and computer models of thought, perception, and sensation.

77. Ellul, Jacques. The Technological Society. 1964. The book that is the starting point for much criticism of modern technology and its negative impact on human culture and society.

78. Giedion, Siegfried. Mechanization Takes Command. 1948. "An approach to technology as culture. A training of perception in culture and technology" (Marshall McLuhan). A classic work on the historical, cultural, and social impact of mechanization on the factory, farm, and household since 1800.

Highly recom- mended.

80. Hofstadter, Douglas and Dennett, compilers. The Mind's I. A collection with stimulating articles, fiction, and essays on mind, soul, and self in philosophy, literature, and artificial intelligence. Hofstadter later said its goal was "to probe the mysteries of matter and consciousness in as vivid and jolting a way as possible." The jolt comes from "the curious fact (or illusion) that something we call an 'I' is somehow connected to some hunk of matter floating somewhere and somewhen in the universe."

81. Hofstadter, Douglas. G”del, Escher, Bach. A stimulating, fascinating, but demanding book on self-referential loops in the mathematician G”del, the painter Escher, and the composer Johann Sebastian Bach, with fascinating implications for mathematical logic, DNA, music, art, computer programming, and artificial intelligence. The author later said: "In essence, GEB was one extended flash having to do with Kurt G”del's famous incompleteness theorem, the human brain, and the mystery of consciousness. It is well described on its cover as 'a metaphorical fugue of minds and machines.'" A stimulating, fascinating, but demanding book on self-referential loops in the mathematician Goedel, the painter Escher, and the composer J. S. Bach, with implications for mathematical logic, DNA, music, art, computer programming, and AI. Impressive bibliography.

82. Hofstadter, Douglas R. Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern. 1984. Described on its dust jacket as "An Interlocked Collection of Literary, Scientific, and Artistic Studies," most of this gathering of notions, puzzles, and queries, alternately profound and capricious in the author's unique manner was originally published in the columns of Scientific American between 1981 and 1983. In book form it may be most rewarding if browsed at random; an excellent annotated bibliography.

83. Johnson, George. Machinery of the Mind: Inside the New Science of Artificial Intelligence. 1986. An unusually well-written and well-integrated survey of artificial intelligence, its movements, people, and controversies. Excellent selective bibliography.

84. la Mettrie, Julian Offray de. L'homme machine. A pioneering eighteenth century work by a physician and philosopher who regarded mind as wholly biological and here bec- ame one of the first thinkers to regard the entire body as merely a set of mechanisms.

85. Levine, Howard and Howard Rheingold. The Cognitive Connection: Thought and Language in Man and Machine. An attempt to connect computer languages to natural languages as common linguistic efforts of man, remindng us that a computer is essentially a sym- bolic manipulator that can emulate whatever processor structures its inventors can design.

86. Lucky, Robert W. Silicon Dreams: Information, Man, and Machine. St. Martin's 1989 $19.95. ISBN 0-312-02960-8. The executive director of research at Bell Labs presents a serious yet understandable overview of the nature of information, from Shannon's information theory to accounts of how language, data, pictures are processed.

Bibliography.

90. Naisbitt, John. Megatrends. 1982. A successful corporation consultant looks at the states of California, Florida, Washington, Colorado, and Connecticut and makes sweeping forecasts about the information society, high technology, political decentralization, a multiple-option culture, self-help, and other trends.

91. Penrose, Roger. The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and he Laws of Physics. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989. A distinguished scientist, Pen- rose moves mind-body inquiries that oppose the "strong AI" position to the high ground of the philosophy of science, cosmology, and quantum mechanics to explore what may be the natural limits of our physicial knowledge of human consciousness.

92. Penzias, Arno. Ideas and Information: Managing in a High-Tech World. W. W. Norton 1989 $18.95. ISBN 0-393-02649-3. Thoughtful and non-technical explanations and anecdotes of computation and information technology by a Nobel prize winner, enlivened with reflections on European history, art, and recollections of three decades at Bell Labs.

93. Roszak, Theodore. The Cult of Information. 1986. Subtitled "The Folklore of Computers and the True Art of Thinking," this debunking book by the author of The Making of a Counter Culture notes that we may be facing an information glut, the menace of hidden agendas in computer literacy programs, and dangerous databanks that can curtail our civil liberties. One of the best antidotes to overly optimistic books about the future of computing.

94. Sacks, Oliver. The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Fascinating case histories, written with warmth by a clinical psychiatrist, about persons with partly defective cogni- tive faculties, reminding the reader that many invisible steps, wholly assumed in normal human information processing, cannot be taken for granted in AI machine simulations.

95. Shannon, Claude and Warren Weaver. The Mathematical Theory of Communica- tions. 1949. A classic work that founded information theory and introduced the terms as "entropy" and "redundancy," the basis of information handling not only in telecommunications and computers but also in linguistics, psychology, and DNA genetics. Non-mathematical readers will prefer instead to read an introduction to Shannon, such as J. R. Peirce's Symbols, Signals, and Noise.

96. Stoll, Clifford. The Cuckoo's Egg: Inside the World of Corporate Espionage. Doubleday 1989 $18.95. ISBN 0385249462. A true-life detective story of the search, undertaken without assistance from the FBI, CIA, or NSA, to explain a mysterious seventy-five-cent charge for computer time, to discover that supposedly secured computers at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory were being entered by a hacker in West Germany.

97. Tichi, Cecelia. Shifting Gears : Technology, Literature, Culture in Modernist America. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1987. The implications of "gear-and-girder" teachnology for American society, culture, and literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

98. Toffler, Alvin. The Third Wave. 1980. A sweeping forecast in the manner of Marshall McLuhan and Daniel Bell, seeing a global post-industrial information revolution and explo- sion. Toffler believes we will see a new human personality in the future "psycho-sphere," a new society centered around the "electronic cottage," and unique but appropriate patterns of cul- ture.

99. Tufte, Edward R. Envisioning Information. Graphics Pr. 1990 $48.00. ISBN 0-9613921-1-8. An exciting and inspiring presentation of the relations between the visual presentation of information and its statistical content by a prophet of the new field of visual information design, showing the inherent differences in several types of graphs, charts, and diagrams. See also the same author's The Visual Display of Quantitative Information (Graphics Press 1983 $40.00. ISBN 0-9613821-8).
