Trade Review
‘A long overdue, insightful and humane portrait of this eccentric and towering genius.’ -- Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of STEVE JOBs
‘A welcome and inspiring account of a largely unsung hero - unsung because, the authors suggest, he accomplished something so fundamental that it’s difficult to imagine a world without it.' -- Kirkus Reviews
‘An exceptionally elegant and authoritative portrait… Sonni and Goodman’s elucidations of Claude Shannon’s theories are gems of conciseness and clarity.' -- Sylvia Nasar, author of the bestselling A BEAUTIFUL MIND, winner of the National Books Critics Award
