Thumbs up The Birth of Information Theory

But why I am talking about superstring theory when I could be talking about a far greater theory?

Just came across a long expository paper which I really like, on the genesis of one of the great scientific papers of all time:

Erico Marui Guizzo
The Essential Message: Claude Shannon and the Making of Information Theory
M.S. Thesis, Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, MIT

Highest reccomendation!

Please note that IMO this should be readable by a general audience.

Maybe there's hope for the future of science journalism yet?
