Alan Turing: The Brilliant Mind That Changed the WorldThe Untold Story of a Mathematical Visionary, Wartime Codebreaker, and Pioneer of Intelligent Machines
What if one man's questions could help create the digital world we live in today?
What if the story behind modern computing began with a young mathematician who dared to challenge the limits of logic, machines, and human intelligence?
And what if the same man who helped Britain confront Nazi Germany during the Second World War was later persecuted by the society he had helped protect?
Alan Turing: The Brilliant Mind That Changed the World takes you beyond the familiar legend and into the remarkable life of one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary thinkers.
From his early fascination with mathematics and logic to his groundbreaking concept of the Turing machine, Turing possessed an unusual ability to see possibilities where others saw limitations. His ideas would help establish the foundations of computer science and influence the technology that would eventually transform everyday life.
Then came the war.
At Bletchley Park, Turing became a crucial figure in Britain's secret struggle against German encrypted communications. Working alongside an extraordinary community of mathematicians, engineers, linguists, and cryptanalysts, he helped develop methods and machinery that contributed to the Allied intelligence effort.
But his story did not end when the war was over.
Turing looked toward a future in which machines could do more than calculate. He asked a question that still fascinates humanity today:
