In un articolo di successo del 1948, Claude Shannon introdusse il mondo dei “bit” e gettò le basi per l’era dell’informazione. Le sue idee hanno attraversato quasi ogni aspetto della vita moderna, influenzando diversi ambiti come la comunicazione, la linguistica, la genetica, l’informatica, la crittografia, le neuroscienze, l’intelligenza artificiale e la cosmologia. Ma quando fu intervistato negli anni ’80, Shannon era più interessato a mostrare i gadget che aveva costruito – robot giocolieri, una macchina per risolvere il cubo di Rubik, un computer indossabile per vincere alla roulette, un monociclo senza pedali, una tromba lanciafiamme – che a rivangare il passato. Mescolando interviste contemporanee, filmati d’archivio, animazioni e dialoghi tratti da interviste condotte con Shannon stesso, The Bit Player, racconta la storia di un genio trascurato che ha rivoluzionato il mondo e che non ha mai perso la sua curiosità infantile.
