Features: This book builds a bridge between scientific culture and literary culture in the sense of C.P. Snow with its unique relaxed and effortless style. In addition to clear information theory, we also get some amusing anecdotes and jokes; insights from a series of heart-stirring and escalating conspiracies or religious scams; whimsical dialogues between Groucho Marx and Bertrand Russell; an explanation of why the mundane facts of the Simpson case overwhelmingly indicate his guilt; how the thoughts of a garden bomb expert reveal signs of shortcomings in mathematical education; why we all seem to be frequently feeling violated rather than violating others; and many other discussions. A charismatic mathematician in the American public has once again made this contribution.
