Everyone knows the story of the codebreaker and computer science pioneer Alan Turing.
Except …
When Dermot Turing is asked about his famous uncle, people want to know more than the bullet points of his life. They want to know everything – was Alan Turing actually a codebreaker? What did he make of artificial intelligence? What is the significance of Alan Turing’s trial, his suicide, the Royal Pardon, the £50 note and the film The Imitation Game?
In Reflections of Alan Turing, Dermot strips off the layers to uncover the real story. It’s time to discover a fresh legacy of Alan Turing for the twenty-first century.
DERMOT TURING is the author of X, Y and Z: the Real Story of how Enigma Was Broken; Alan Turing Decoded; and Enigma Traitors, which reveals the inadequacies of Allied codes during the Second World War. He began writing in 2014 after a career in law. He is a trustee of The National Museum of Computing and a Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford. Dermot is married with two sons and lives in Kippen in Stirlingshire.
