The Maxwell's Demon and Computer Science
A good place to start looking at these ideas is this paper, though it talks about the (related) idea of information and thermodynamics. It relates fundamental computational tasks (eg. editing a bit) to fundamental thermodynamic tasks (eg. energy extraction). Following the links within the paper should give reasonable access to literature on the subject. Also, see this paper.

EDIT - There is also discussion regarding this on Scott Aaronson's blog https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=3327. See the comments section too.
