""The fact remains that everyone who taps at a keyboard, opening
a spreadsheet or a word-processing program, is working on an
incarnation of a Turing machine."-""TIME"
In this award-winning selection of writings by Information Age
pioneer Alan Turing, readers will find many of the most significant
contributions from the four-volume set of the "Collected Works of
A. M. Turing." These contributions, together with commentaries from
current experts in a wide spectrum of fields and backgrounds,
provide insight on the significance and contemporary impact of A.M.
Turing's work.
Offering a more modern perspective than anything currently
available, "Alan Turing: His Work and Impact" gives wide coverage
of the many ways in which Turing's scientific endeavors have
impacted current research and understanding of the world. His
pivotal writings on subjects including computing, artificial
intelligence, cryptography, morphogenesis, and more display
continued relevance and insight into today's scientific and
technological landscape. This collection provides a great service
to researchers, but is also an approachable entry point for readers
with limited training in the science, but an urge to learn more
about the details of Turing's work.
