The history of the computer is entwined with that of the modern
world and with the life of one man, the brilliant but troubled Alan
Turing. How did the computer come to structure and dominate our
lives so totally? In Jon Agar's enlightening story of the
`universal machine', we discover how Turing's groundbreaking work
not only helped break German codes during the Second World War but
also founded the beginnings of the modern computer. Persecuted by
the authorities for his homosexuality, and ultimately hounded to
suicide, Turing's personal tribulations are as relevant to the
modern world as his work on computing, as indicated by his
posthumous royal pardon of 2013 and the recent film The Imitation
Game, which focuses on Turing's turbulent life.
