Description
Kuberknots is a podcast series for anyone interested in learning about cybernetics, and its roots in control and communication, through engaging and accessible conversations with experts in the fields. The name Kuberknots weaves two ideas together. The prefix “kuber-” comes from the Greek word, kubernētēs, meaning “steersman” or “governor”. It’s the root of the word cybernetics—the study of guidance, feedback, and control in complex systems, from our own bodies to societies and ecosystems. The word “knots” symbolises the connections we form between ideas, technologies, and people, as we navigate our interconnected world.
