The Bit Player - L'uomo che inventò il futuro (2019)
Nel 1948 Claude Shannon introdusse la nozione di "bit", gettando le basi dell'era dell'informazione. Le sue idee sono alla base della nostra vita moderna, influenzando l'informatica, la genetica, le neuroscienze e l'intelligenza artificiale. Mescolando interviste contemporanee, filmati d'archivio, animazioni e dialoghi tratti da interviste con Shannon, The Bit Player racconta la storia di un genio trascurato e dalla curiosità incrollabile.
