Well worth a read: “The Information,” by James Gleick. It’s got other characters (Babbage, Lovelace, Turing, etc.) but Claude Shannon is its real hero.

I heartily second that recommendation.
Thanks for the heads up.
I rather like the other 2 videos on that Vimeo channel (https://vimeo.com/delvetv)
As someone who’s passionate about photography but working in IT – just gives hope that it’s never too late 😉
Another great read was ” The idea factory : Bell Labs and the great age of American innovation by Jon Gertner”. The number of innovations coming out of there was amazing.
