Outsiders see mathematics as a cold, formal, logical,
mechanical, monolithic process of sheer intellection; we
argue that insofar as it is successful, mathematics is a
social, informal, intuitive, organic, human process, a
community project. -- Social Processes and Proofs of
Theorems and Programs, DeMillo, Lipton, and Perlis.

It is the thesis of this book that society can only be
understood through a study of the messages and the
communication facilities which belong to it; and that in
the future development of these messages and communication
facilities, messages between man and machines, between
machines and man, and between machine and machine, are
destined to play an ever-increasing part. -- The Human
Use of Human Beings, Norbert Wiener.
