Just yesterday I finished up a biography of Claude Shannon that I recommend to anyone that ones to learn more. It briefly covers this as well as ton of his other "toys" - https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Play-Shannon-Invented-Informatio...

Waiting for kindle version to drop on Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Play-Shannon-Invented-Informat...)

How much do the rights actually cost? As in, is it feasible for me to purchase these rights and sell Kindle edition myself?

There's a new biography on him, A Mind at Play
