Such a terrible tragedy, both personal and for the world. I highly recommend the book referenced: "Dark Hero of the Information Age: In Search of Norbert Wiener, the Father of Cybernetics".

(One thing that troubles me slightly: this article mentions a possible cause of the break between Wiener and the others which is presented as speculation in the book, if I remember correctly, but stated here as a bald fact. In any event I wish that Wiener hadn't acted so rashly.)
