Cetshwayo desired only to coexist with the white settlers. In 1873, he submitted to a mock ceremony at which the Cape Colony's Secretary for Native Affairs, in the name of Queen Victoria, placed a tinsel crown on his royal brow. But all along the western boundary of Zululand, white colonists looked hungrily east at Cetshwayo's virgin land. To the British, that unsubjugated savage kingdom constituted an intolerable obstacle to progress...
...that yours lacks, while yours provides a blueprint for the life of action mine implies. Let us combine. The fact that Sartre's proposed union does not seem to be philosophically possible does not make it any less worth studying. For while Marxism and existentialism may be incapable of coexisting in a real society, they coexist constantly in the imaginations of young people today. Many of these people are activists.

...book is both fascinating and frustrating. Despite his announced intent, Wiener treats religion only secondarily--his concern remains principally with the pragmatic problems of a world in which man must coexist with his mechanical creations. Furthermore, although the book is intended for the general reader, many of Wiener's points are so complex that they cannot be understood, even in principle, by anyone lacking a background in advanced mathematics...
