Alan turing's nephew offers a family insider view of the tragic Visionary genius alan turing who instead of living 40 more yeays and taking his rightful place beside albert einstein was for decades ignored and forgotten even as the world became computerized just as turing predicted. Turing was a founding father of the machines we call computers and because he was unapologetically homosexual in a time and a place where such a thing was beyond evil he was persecuted and hounded to suicide at 41 and denied his rightful place among our heroes until now. His nephew writes a book that all turing fans must read.
