In 1948 legde Claude Shannon de grondslag voor het informatietijdperk door het begrip 'bit' te introduceren. Zijn ideeën hebben tot vandaag een invloed op communicatie, genetica, neurowetenschap en artificiële intelligentie. Aan de hand van archiefmateriaal, interviews en animaties vertelt deze documentaire het verhaal van een vergeten genie dat de wereld veranderde.
Nee, helaas is The Bit Player nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
