Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer knownas the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored theconcept of what it meant to be computable, creating thefield of computability theory in the process, a foundation ofpresent-day computer programming.
The book expands Turing?s original 36-page paper withadditional background chapters and extensive annotations; theauthor elaborates on and clarifies many of Turing?sstatements, making the original difficult-to-read documentaccessible to present day programmers, computer science majors,math geeks, and others.
Interwoven into the narrative are the highlights ofTuring?s own life: his years at Cambridge and Princeton, hissecret work in cryptanalysis during World War II, his involvementin seminal computer projects, his speculations about artificialintelligence, his arrest and prosecution for the crime of "grossindecency," and his early death by apparent suicide at the age of41.
