Features: This book builds a bridge between the cultures of science and literature in the sense of C.P. Snow with its unique, relaxed and effortless style. Besides clear information theory, we also get some humorous anecdotes and jokes; insights from a series of thrilling and escalating conspiracies or religious scams; spontaneous dialogues between Groucho Marx and Bertrand Russell; an explanation of why the mundane facts of the Simpson case overwhelmingly suggest his guilt; how the thoughts of a garden bomb maker reveal signs of a lack of mathematical education; why we all seem to feel frequently violated rather than violating others; and many other discussions. A charming mathematician in the American public has made another contribution to this.
