The Man Who Knew Too Much

Alan Turing and the Invention of the Computer

If you are interested in learning more about Alan Turning, yet are looking for a smaller read than Andrew Hodges' The Enigma, then this is the book for you! I cannot recall a book that kept me not only intrigued, but learning. When Leavitt touches on the intricacies of Turing's work, it does feel like you are reading a tech manual, yet it really is invaluable as it demonstrates and helps you understand the true genius of Turing's beautiful mind. I cannot recommend this book enough. Read this then watch (or re-watch!) the film, The Imitation Game, and your heart will break in ways that you could not have imagined!
