About this audiobook
How much information is in a coin flip, a gene, a photograph, a language? This book explains the quantity that answers all of them: entropy of information, Claude Shannon's 1948 measure of uncertainty in bits, and the theory built on it. Chapters build the formula from its four exact readings — average surprise, binary questions, shortest description, missing knowledge — then follow it through coding (compression floors and capacity ceilings that run every zip file and satellite link), cryptography, the physics bridge to thermodynamics (Maxwell's demon, Landauer's price of erasure), quantum entanglement entropy, and machine learning, where cross-entropy now trains the largest artificial intelligence systems in existence.
