I agree and feel sad for the vanishing of Cybernetics.

Transdisciplinary fields are usually more delicate; they're often the momentary confluences of scientifically-inclined humanists and prominent scientific fields of their time. Before cybernetics there was various ambitious/systematic philosophy/evolution crossovers like Herbert Spencer.

From what I've researched and worked with individuals on the edge of the field, the contemporary debates seems to be going for "Second-order cybernetics"

Possible resources of interest are "IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics" (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?reload=true&...), as well as the work of Hugh Dubberly (Apple II, DNS) from Dubberly Design Office.
