In addition, this charismatic mathematician, engineer, inventor and juggler deployed his boundless creativity in fields as disparate as digital circuit design, genetics, cryptanalysis and artificial intelligence. It is only in recent years that his true merits as the creator of “information theory” have been recognised.
