Cover Quote: April 2001

Shannon’s remarkable theorems told communications engineers what goals to strive for, and integrated circuits provided ever-improving hardware to realize these goals. Thus, the foundation for the digital communications revolution was laid. It is no exaggeration that Claude Shannon was the Father of the Information Age and his intellectual achievement one of the greatest of the 20th century.



- Solomon W. Golomb
Claude E. Shannon (1916-2001), 2001
