Alan Turing is a patron saint of Manchester, remembered as the
Mancunian who won the war, invented the computer, and was all but
put to death for being gay. Each myth is related to a historical
story. This is not a book about the first of those stories, of
Turing at Bletchley Park. But it is about the second two, which
each unfolded here in Manchester, of Turing's involvement in the
world's first computer and of his refusal to be cowed about his
sexuality. Manchester can be proud of Turing, but can we be proud
of the city he encountered?
