Zotero shared Library

Welcome to the Cybernetic Futures shared Zotero library — an open, growing collection of research on cybernetics, complexity, and the questions that shape our collective futures. It is free for anyone to browse and use: academic papers, books, and articles gathered around the ideas this project engages with.

You can explore the whole library in your browser right now, with no account or software required:

Add the library to your Zotero

If you use Zotero, you can pull the whole library into your own copy in a few clicks. First, sign in to a free Zotero account so your desktop app can sync with the group:

  1. Open the library link above in your browser.
  2. Sign in with your free Zotero account (create one if you don’t have it yet).
  3. Click Groups in the top menu, then select Cybernetic Futures. The library opens as a group library.
  4. In the desktop app, make sure sync is enabled (the green arrow in the toolbar), and the group library will appear under My Library — ready to cite from, organize, and keep alongside your own research.

For now the library is read-only: you can browse, cite, and copy items into your own collection, but changes to the shared library itself are not open yet. Over time we hope it will become a collectively maintained resource. If you would like to help curate or improve it, please get in touch.
