Abstract
I like to think that I came upon the history of Project Cybersyn, the 1970s Chilean computer
network for economic management, because I was looking in the right place, and because it was
a place that few in the history of technology had visited. I was a doctoral student at MIT, and I
wanted to learn more about the history of computing in Latin America, the region of my birth.
MIT has some of the best holdings in the country on the history of computing, but it soon
became clear that material on Latin American computing was rather sparse. While I was digging
in the stacks, bits and pieces of the story of Project Cybersyn caught my attention.
