Description
Alan Turing was one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. He created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer and is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.
During World War II, Turing worked at Britain's codebreaking centre, where he played a crucial role in breaking German naval codes, including the Enigma code. His work helped save millions of lives by shortening the war by up to four years.
This book tells the story of Turing's amazing life and work, making him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century.
