Teachings of Don Von: A Turnkey Way of Knowledge - Tom Abellera

The Modern Theory of Information is sort of like a giant theme park with Claude Shannon, the man who invented information theory, playing the part of Walt Disney. Like Disney, Shannon is a symbol of the far-flung enterprise that sprang from his vision. Inside this Magical Kingdom you have Shannon's original Mathematical Theory of Communication over here. You've got John von Neumann's Mathematical Theory of Games over there. Cyberneticsland is out yonder, along with Chaosland, & Fractaland, & Artificial Intelligenceland, & Set Theoryland, & Turing Machineland, & Thermodynamicsland. There's even a Marshall McLuhan gift shop on the premises. And it's just too much to see all in one day! What this book does is provide a kind of sky-train-ride that takes you up over the top so you can see how it all fits together. And when you see the whole thing, you see it has limits.
