Biographers Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman collaborate once again to present the life story of Claude Shannon. Shannon was one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century and the brilliant mind behind the Information Age. His insights are the foundation of every computer, email, video, and webpage in existence. Shannon was a visionary polymath and a pioneer in the digital world. He created the first wearable computer, developed strategies for winning against Las Vegas casinos, and built juggling robots. Additionally, he penned the seminal text of the digital revolution, which is dubbed as “the Magna Carta of the Information Age.” This exhaustively researched biography elegantly written by Soni and Goodman delves into Claude Shannon’s life and sheds new light on his story for the first time. With exclusive access to Shannon’s family and friends, A Mind at Play brings this ingenious and playful innovator to life.
