The book abouth this #mathematical man is still in my TBR, but the movie is wonderful
Day 24
At Bletchley today - imagining Alan Turin walking through these gates every day to work on cracking the Enigma machine codes.
“Atheist, homosexual, eccentric, marathon-running English mathematician, A. M. Turing was in large part responsible not only for the concept of computers, incisive theorems about their powers, and a clear vision of the possibility of computer minds, but also for the cracking of German ciphers during the Second World War.”

#TBRtemptation post! Did anyone see "The Enigma" movie? Well, here's the book that inspired it ???! And, of course, I'll start taking bets as to whether the book is better or the film ?. I'm j/k. This is a really thick selection though! Probably moves along swiftly enough aside from parts explaining ciphering & coding and such. I still regularly hear people talking about this. It's added to my TBR now ???! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
Very interesting book, well written, entertaining and not too technical.
For, of course, the body is a machine. It is a vastly complex machine, many, many times more complicated than any machine ever made with hands; but still after all a machine.
Alan Turing was a remarkable man who was leaps and bounds ahead of his time, and Hodges is able to capture his story in a beautiful and moving way. This is one of the best and most detailed biographies I've ever read.
