This study about the British artist Roy Ascott, one of the first cybernetic artists, with a career spanning seven decades to date. The book focuses on his early career, exploring the evolution of his early interests in communication in the context of the rich overlaps between art, science and engineering in Britain during the 1950s and 1960s. "There is a great deal of original research here and it is a worthy contribution. One can only hope that it opens up the field of art pedagogy even further." - Beth Williamson, Art History
