It is good. I had the good fortune at CMU of showing Shannon how to use a joystick to control a 3D pogo stick (Designed my Marc Raibert of future Boston Dynamics fame; I did the EE & SW) This shows the robot and me driving; unfortunately, we have no video of Shannon 'driving' the machine, but I can tell you the smile on his face was ear-to-ear. https://youtu.be/Bd5iEke6UlE

That movie is a travesty and the people who made it should be punished.

Soni's book is also pulpy trash which reads like a precocious high school student's book report, and manages to make Shannon ... possibly the least boring human of the 20th century .... boring. Gleik's book is reasonable.

I also detested the movie, though I'm not certain I want the creators punished ;-) Also not a fan of the book
