Description

‘In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names within the history of his particular studies added his own.’ So is described one of the crucial greatest figures of the 20 th century, yet Alan Turing’s name was once not widely recognised until his contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code become public within the 1970s. The tale of Turing’s life fascinates and within the years since his suicide, Turing’s reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have change into better appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing’s birth, this republication of his mother’s biography is enriched by a new foreword by Martin Davis and a never-before-published memoir by Alan’s older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the original biography reveals tensions and sheds new light on Turing’s relationship together with his circle of relatives, and at the man himself.
