Synopsis

In the 1960s, Soviet scientists and engineers envisioned a future shaped by domestic computer technology and cybernetics. Their ambitions were enshrined in the Third Program of the CPSU, known as the "Program for Building Communism." This initiative promised a society free from exploitation and class contradictions within 20 years. "God From the Machine" examines this period of technological optimism and the role of cybernetics in shaping a utopian vision for the USSR.
