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.

幾年前工作時偶然看到一家上海硬盤製造企業名字中就有「香濃」一詞，當時就問同事Alex此君是誰，被告知是天才式人物，後來維基百科後方知此君過人之處。拜讀其傳記才知此君是現在科技發展幕後功臣，功勳遠在蓋茨、喬布斯之上，卻不被大眾所熟知。此君畢生在好奇中探索並為之而樂此不疲，終其一生，碩果累累。自建國伊始，大學及科研機構奠定了美國繁榮之基石，時至今日仍日益精進，一騎絕塵。

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。

香农的传记还是挺难写的，他的轶事不多，也不是个爱显摆的人，很难探求他的内心世界。像书名中的“游戏”的叙述也主要集中在书的第三部分，作者也给了维纳、图灵等人篇幅丰富本书。像香农前半生的逻辑电路和信息论的贡献也是人尽皆知。不过读了本书我才了解到香农那篇《通讯的数学原理》内容，某种意义上还是篇计算语言学的论文啊。香农的好奇心和超强大的抽象能力成就了他。像他被布什弄去写的博士论文是遗传学的，但内核还是数学... 香农的传记还是挺难写的，他的轶事不多，也不是个爱显摆的人，很难探求他的内心世界。像书名中的“游戏”的叙述也主要集中在书的第三部分，作者也给了维纳、图灵等人篇幅丰富本书。像香农前半生的逻辑电路和信息论的贡献也是人尽皆知。不过读了本书我才了解到香农那篇《通讯的数学原理》内容，某种意义上还是篇计算语言学的论文啊。香农的好奇心和超强大的抽象能力成就了他。像他被布什弄去写的博士论文是遗传学的，但内核还是数学(生物数学先驱呐)。逻辑电路的内核是布尔代数，信息论也是在前辈的基础上，把抽象提升了一个层次，所以成了信息技术的“中心法则”。最逆天的是他玩完这些之后还搞迷宫老鼠的机器，这得算机器学习的启蒙了。感觉香农像是早生了几十年。思维够发散又够抽象，他的快乐就是这种东西，像钱只是他用来研究股票中的数学的工具。 (展开)

不要堆砌事实，要做深度分析性的工作，要注重问题本身与背后的原理。

香农用一篇论文开创了一个学科改变了世界，其实最应该学习信息学的是金融从业者，因为金融本质上卖的就是信息。高速发展的信息技术和数字科技现在正在对金融行业进行彻底的颠覆

你大爷还是你大爷。这种任性的活法，真的需要天才的脑力做支撑。
