具体描述
In their second collaboration, biographers Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman present the story of Claude Shannon—one 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 “the Magna Carta of the Information Age.” In this elegantly written, exhaustively researched biography, Soni and Goodman reveal Claude Shannon’s full story for the first time. With unique access to Shannon’s family and friends, A Mind at Play brings this singular innovator and always playful genius to life.

评分有一位无神论者， 在学校工作的时候，从不考虑这个问题有无实际价值，只考虑这个问题好不好玩；从不考虑问题有无学术价值，只考虑这个问题好不好玩。带学生的时候，不考虑能否毕业，只考虑这个问题好不好玩，但提供思考的角度和非同寻常的看问题深度。 在公司上班的时候，从不...

评分也许香农内向和隐秘的生活方式没有留下太多奇闻与轶事，全书的人物刻画显得平淡乃至趋于宣讲式的扁平的模范形象。不过这也许更凸显了天才超乎凡人的，不仅仅是天资，更是一颗永远好奇与不知足的心态（constructive dissatisfaction），敏锐的直觉和科学的思考方式。
