Samenvatting:

The life of Alan Turing was much more than the story of a mathematical genius. This book traces his childhood, his precocious brilliance, his decisive role in World War II, the birth of modern computing, and his visionary ideas about artificial intelligence. At the same time, it reveals the man behind the myth: his quirks, his bonds, his wounds, his sensitivity, and the brutal injustice he suffered at the hands of the British state. Between science, war, biology, philosophy, and human tragedy, this volume presents Turing as one of the most fascinating, complex, and ahead‑of‑his‑time figures in contemporary history.
