About this product

Product Information

The full story behind the persecuted genius of wartime codebreaking and the computer revolution - now an Oscar-winning film starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley Includes a new foreword by the author and a preface by Douglas Hofstadter. Alan Turing was the extraordinary Cambridge mathematician who masterminded the cracking of the German Enigma ciphers and transformed the Second World War. But his vision went far beyond this crucial achievement. Before the war he had formulated the concept of the universal machine, and in 1945 he turned this into the first design for a digital computer. Turing's far-sighted plans for the digital era forged ahead into a vision for Artificial Intelligence. However, in 1952 his homosexuality rendered him a criminal and he was subjected to humiliating treatment. In 1954, aged 41, Alan Turing committed suicide and one of Britain's greatest scientific minds was lost.

A biography about life itself.
A very good biography of a very complicated man. It's a tragedy what happened to him. It makes one ask questions about law and punishment. I would read it again to find out more about the man. I would recommend it to anyone interested in life and those who are brave enough to explore the whys and wherefore of the human condition.

Fascinating subject I was really interested in. However my copy of the book (1992) the print is so small I don't think I'll ever read it.
