Grammatical Man is the first book to tell the story of information theory, how it arose with the development of radar during WWII and how it evolved. This book describes how the laws and discoveries of information theory now support controversial revisions to Darwinian evolution, begin to unravel the mysteries of language, memory and dreams, and stimulate provocative ideas in psychology, philosophy, art, music, computers and even the structure of society.

GRAMMATICAL MAN Information Entropy Language and Life 1 Jeremy Campbell

This is a wonderful, ambitious book. It is well written. The prose is a delight. But what makes it really stand out is the breadth of its focus. Campbell's premise is that information theory informs a very wide range of topics. To be efficient an information system has to balance rules with originality. The rules are necessary to create some order in a chaotic world. Without rules the message will be overwhelmed by the noise. But if the rules are too rigid and overarching they limit what can be conveyed. Campbell argues that this basic framework is useful for understanding everything from genetics and evolution to language to the working of the human mind. I'm not an expert I the book compelling and deeply thought provoking. And it was a joy to read.
