Abstract

The article focuses on Richard Brautigan's engagement with cybernetics, exploring its influence on his work, specifically his poem "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" and novella "Trout Fishing in America." Topics include the counterculture movement's embrace of cybernetic visions, Brautigan's ambivalent stance on technology's impact on nature, and the cybernetic increase in entropy depicted in "Trout Fishing in America," challenging assumptions.
