Highly recommend giving The Bit Player[0] a watch for those interested in learning more about Claude Shannon and their pursuits in both their academic and personal life.
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.)
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.
