Alan Mathison Turing. Mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker, a creator of computer research, and the father of Artificial Intellect, Turing was one of the most original thinkers of the last hundred years - and the person whose work helped create the computer-driven world we now inhabit. But he was also an enigmatic body, deeply reticent yet also strikingly naive. Turing's openness about his homosexuality at a time when it was an imprisonable offense ultimately led to his untimely fatality at age only 41. In Alan Turing: Unlocking the Enigma, David Boyle discloses the mysteries behind the person and his impressive job. Aged just 22, Turing was elected a fellow at King's School, Cambridge on the effectiveness of a dissertation in which he turned out the central limit theorem. By age 33, he previously been honored the OBE by Ruler George VI for his wartime services: Turing was instrumental in breaking the Nazi Enigma machines at the very top secret code breaking establishment at Bletchley Recreation area during the Second World Warfare. But his successes were to be tragically overshadowed by the paranoia of the post-War years. Hounded for his supposedly subversive views and then for his sexuality, Turing was prosecuted in 1952, and forced to simply accept the humiliation of hormone treatment to avoid a prison sentence. Just 2 yrs later, at age 41 he was deceased. The verdict: cyanide poisoning. Was Turing's fatality unintentional as his mom always stated? Or did persistent persecution drive him to take him own life?Alan Turing: Unlocking the Enigma seeks to get the man behind the research, illuminating the life of someone who is still a shadowy occurrence behind his outstanding achievements.
