Loved that film.

I particularly liked the idea that he is one of the most important figures in science/tech/maths that most people have not heard of.

Yeah, along with John von Neumann. I frequently mention those two whenever the icebreaker question "What persons, living or dead, would you most like to have a meal with?"

I'm nearly always met with "Who..??"

My wife worked a bunch on this film, and it's absolutely great. (Among other things, she handles IP requests for the MIT Museum, where much of Shannon's stuff is kept.)

Their?

Huh?
