Automaton theory and cybernetics arose from the efforts to technically transpose the results of mathematical logic and abstract information theory. The comparison of machines and lives from the perspective of their capacity to be controlled is expressed in the subtitle of the book that is the basis for cybernetics, Norbert Wiener's Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, 1948.
