I've just started Cybernetic Revolutionaries: Technology and Politics in Allende's Chile by Eden Medina, and the chapter explaining what cybernetics is and the way it was applied in the 50s and 60s in the US made me think of Asimov's "psychohistory" - the same touching faith in the ability of data analysis to control behaviour.
