I want to see the alt-history novel where the coup was foiled, Chile is a pre-Culture society and the US is a bunch of primitive screwheads.

I have the second edition of Beer's Brain of the Firm, which, along with detailing his 'managerial cybernetics', describes his involvement in the Chile experiment. It's good reading. (Or at least I thought it was when I read it in the 80s.)

There were two editions, the draft for the first one (1972) being the 'bible' for what they did in Chile, with the second edition coming out in 1981. So if you want it, it's the 2nd edition you want.
