Read Jimmy's book on Claude Shannon when it came out. Completely devoured it. It was the main reason that I went back to grad school in September to do a master's degree in communications. Goal was to use information theory to understand and improve on disinformation. I changed my mind about the thesis after I got in. Now it is about how the metaverse will affect sense perception per Marshall McLuhan. BTW, this is another great read: "The Man from the Future: The Visionary Ideas of John von Neumann" by Ananyo Bhattacharya.

That's awesome! I sent your comment to Jimmy :)
von Neumann was amazing, I still need to read that bio, but definitely one of the smartest humans that I'm aware of!
