How the New Science of Information Is Explaining Everything in the Cosmos, from Our Brains to Black Holes
by Charles Seife
As Charles Seife reveals in this energetic new book, information theory, once the province of philosophers and linguists, has emerged as the crucial science of our time, shedding new light on the mysteries of physics, the nature of space and time and the creation and destruction of the universe itself.
