Varying definitions of Entropy
Gleick discusses Claude Shannon and his contribution to information theory. Among his contributions was to compare the physical definition of entropy to information. Yes, this is in direct contrast to the term we learned about from Floridi, but Gleick devotes an entire chapter Entropy and Its Demons to this concept, quoting many information theorists and physicist who have all contributed greatly to the material we read about in 410.
