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.
Jimmy Soni has served as an editor at The New York Observer and the Washington Examiner and as managing editor of Huffington Post. He is a former speechwriter, and his written work and commentary have appeared in Slate, The Atlantic, and CNN, among other outlets. He is a graduate of Duke University. With Rob Goodman, he is the coauthor of Rome’s Last Citizen: The Life and Legacy of Cato, Mortal Enemy of Caesar, and A Mind at Play: How Claude Shannon Invented the Information Age.
香農真正證明瞭,思維本身就是一種樂趣,一種生活方式,而且是非常好的生活方式;一個人不會乾活很正常,但要連玩都不會玩,那就有點可悲瞭

評分驚喜,一本五星+的好書,推薦一讀。
評分也許香農內嚮和隱秘的生活方式沒有留下太多奇聞與軼事,全書的人物刻畫顯得平淡乃至趨於宣講式的扁平的模範形象。不過這也許更凸顯瞭天纔超乎凡人的,不僅僅是天資,更是一顆永遠好奇與不知足的心態(constructive dissatisfaction),敏銳的直覺和科學的思考方式。

評分有一位无神论者, 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...
評分 評分看标题,既然是传记,就应该围绕传主一生最重要的成果——信息论,特别是信息论的由来和此前的历程。但是香农青年得志,而整部传记用力却是均匀分布的,在发表了信息论以后,又讲了很多,有趣,却与标题无关。 再看英文原题,明白了。原题是 A Mind at Play ,全文正是围绕这...
