The 1973 military coup in Chile abruptly ended Salvador Allende's government and, with it, Stafford Beer's pioneering Project Cybersyn before it could be completed.
The 1973 military coup in Chile ended Salvador Allende's government and swept away Stafford Beer's Project Cybersyn before it could be fully realized: "Tragically, the 1973 coup swept Cybersyn away before it could be fully realized." The book cites it as the abrupt political end of a pioneering experiment in decentralized, cybernetic economic design.
