The Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) is an interdisciplinary think-tank founded in the 1990s at the University of Warwick. It explores how technology, culture, and philosophy intersect, focusing on understanding and shaping modern digital and media landscapes. The CCRU combines ideas from cybernetics, science fiction, post-structuralism, and chaos theory to analyze how digital systems influence human cognition and societal structures. Its work is known for blending academic rigor with creative and speculative thinking, aiming to challenge conventional perspectives on technology and culture.
