  • "Wiener's early life is well documented in family correspondence, especially with his father, who taught him at home until high school and who remained an important influence on his work. College notebooks, graduate philosophy essays, and Army records are also included. Wiener's correspondence with his professors, including Bertrand Russell, and with his colleagues trace his work in mathematical theory and its interdisciplinary applications. The gradual development of information theory and cybernetics is found in correspondence with Arturo Rosenblueth, John von Neumann, and Warren S. McCulloch. Much of his correspondence on non-scientific matters examines his interest in the world situation before World War II, his efforts to assist European scholars, and his postwar concern that scientists not evade social responsibility. Correspondence with Walter Reuther discusses his fear of possible postwar unemployment."
