Axel Roch: Claude E. Shannon

Last week, Axel Roch gave me his latest book about Claude E. Shannon . Because he thought that I could be interested in it. And you were right, Axel! As Shannon was a “close to genius” mathematician, plus the founder of informations theory, plus a very talented relay toy builder, plus a serious geek, the book covered all stuff that I really like. And not only, that it is a very inspiring and knowledgeful book, it is also designed very beautiful by Mehi Park . Ok, that’s enough advertisement for now. You can get the book online here .

Also nice: The Heinz Nixdorf Foprum opens an exhibition with the machines of Shannon on November 5th. As the book presents his machines in the first chapter, it also became the exhibition catalogue.
