My prediction: the field of Cybernetics is about to make a major comeback.

Cybernetics wasn't a coherent field but an opinionated soup of loosely related ideas. It never went away in a sense, it just stopped being called cybernetics; good ideas blended into other fields, bad ideas were forgotten.
It also never delivered on the promise that a combination of cybersex and genetics should have.
