In their second collaboration, biographers Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman present the story of Claude Shannon\u2014one of the foremost intellects of the twentieth century and the architect of the Information Age, whose insights stand behind every computer built, email sent, video streamed, and webpage loaded. Claude Shannon was a groundbreaking polymath, a brilliant tinkerer, and a digital pioneer. He constructed the first wearable computer, outfoxed Vegas casinos, and built juggling robots. He also wrote the seminal text of the digital revolution, which has been called \u201cthe Magna Carta of the Information Age.\u201d In this elegantly written, exhaustively researched biography, Soni and Goodman reveal Claude Shannon\u2019s full story for the first time. With unique access to Shannon\u2019s family and friends, A Mind at Play brings this singular innovator and always playful genius to life. <\/p>\n
