Part of a chain of false reasoning,

This review is from: Information and Meaning: An Evolutionary Perspective (Paperback)
Entropy is not disorder; this has been demonstrated many times for those interested. It cannot be negative, it can only decrease, it is a state function difference. It is not the negative of information, which is not a new force but requires an interpreter/recognizer. The comment that Shannon confused the situation by attributing randomness with maximum information has some truth but belies the fact Shannon was able to equate the rate of information transmission with a reduction of uncertainty to the receiver, a subtle but critical fact explained elswhere as I have referenced many times. The book is wildly overpriced which is the real clue.
