The Enemy Knows the System (Part 2 of 5)

In this episode, we explore how Claude Shannon's marriage to a computer created information theory and launched the digital age.

In Falken's Maze, technologist and former professor Jason Thomas explores the intersection of technology, history, and culture. Created for listeners nostalgic for the 80s but who also want to understand the complexities of today, our show demystifies the world's most compelling technologies and events through 80's movies, music, and television.
