Highly recommend giving The Bit Player[0] a watch for those interested in learning more about Claude Shannon and their pursuits in both their academic and personal life.
Yeah, along with John von Neumann. I frequently mention those two whenever the icebreaker question "What persons, living or dead, would you most like to have a meal with?"
My wife worked a bunch on this film, and it's absolutely great.
(Among other things, she handles IP requests for the MIT Museum, where much of Shannon's stuff is kept.)
I particularly liked the idea that he is one of the most important figures in science/tech/maths that most people have not heard of.
