The mathematics quickly went over my head but I like to keep this book around to look at in ignorant awe-- its that important. His Master's thesis-- written in 1940, is the most important scientific or technical paper of the 20th century-- is more my speed, he connects electrical switches using boolean algebra and invents digital logic circuits. Brilliant! (to quote the Guinness Irishmen) And it can be understood by a liberal arts major. Free to download at MIT's website.

Shannon's use of entropy in his theory is fabulous and an idea that seems as though it could show up in a Pynchon novel.
