Inhalt
One of the most important openings to the modern computer was made by Alan Turing - remarkably while he was solving an entirely different problem. Shy and insecure about his middle-class origins, Turing could show those close to him sly humor and bracing candor - even about his homosexuality. He also had one of the keenest minds of the 20th century. Turing and his brilliant Blechtey Park colleagues built devices to crack the Nazis' Enigma code, thus ensuring the Allies' victory in World War II. After the war, he became a champion of artificial intelligence. His postwar computer-building was cut short when he was arrested for violating anti-homosexuality laws and sentenced to a »treatment« that amounted to chemical castration. As he elegantly explains Turing's work, David Leavitt never loses sight of his humanity.
