Download or read book Alan Turing written by Andrew Hodges and published by Random House. This book was released on 1992 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times?bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing?s royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life."--Amazon.com.
