About this audiobook
Alan Turing, the brilliant mathematician and father of modern computer science, revolutionized the way we think about technology, intelligence, and computation. Born in 1912 in London, Turing’s groundbreaking work during World War II, particularly his role in decoding the German Enigma machine, changed the course of history. This biography delves into his early academic achievements, his formulation of the Turing Machine, and his pioneering ideas in artificial intelligence. Turing’s personal life, including his struggles as a gay man in a conservative society, adds depth to his story. Despite facing injustice, his contributions laid the foundation for the digital revolution. This book celebrates Turing’s genius, resilience, and enduring legacy as a visionary who reshaped the modern world.
