  1. Norbert Wiener (1948) Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, New York: John Wiley, page 19:
    We have decided to call the entire field of control and communication theory [] by the name Cybernetics, which we form from the Greek κυβερνήτης or steersman. In choosing this term, we wish to recognize that the first significant paper on feed-back mechanisms is an article on governors, which was published by Clerk Maxwell in 1868, and that governor is derived from a Latin corruption of κυβερνήτης.
