The machine as metaphor is deeply rooted in western culture, and complex systems in nature and society are often interpreted in such terms. With the advent of electronic computers, the machine metaphor applied to thinking and to the brain has become even more pertinent. The chapters are written in a non-technical fashion accessible to the laymen interested in the machine concept. 18 illustrations.
