The foreword and preface emphasize the diversity of contributors’ scholarship, including historical manuscript details, modern scientific developments, personal memories, and philosophical reflections. Coverage ranges from a biographical timeline and his trial, to universal computation, codebreaking at Bletchley Park, post-war computing, early AI ideas, and his morphogenesis theory.","The Turing Guide  \nTHE TURING GUIDE  \nb . jack copeland jonathan p. bowen mark sprevak  \nrobin wilson and others  \n3  \nGreat Clarendon Street, Oxford, OX2 6DP,  \nUnited Kingdom  \nOxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.

A glance at its pages will show the diversity of the contributions. Some are fastidious scholarship, bringing to life details of smudged typescripts and incomplete manuscripts from over 60 years ago. Some convey modern scientiic developments. Some explore personal memories, or philosophical speculations. But they share a special concern to shed new light on hidden history.  \nTuring’s centenary year relected a general public sense that the issues of Alan Turing’s life and work are as relevant as ever in the twenty-irst century. One reason is obvious: the universality of the computer has invaded everyday consciousness. It has changed the relationship between the individual and the social world. he computer has made possible impassioned public campaigns for Turing’s oicial recognition, demanding some remedy for his identity as a criminalized gay man. At the same time, the signiicance of the modern state’s computerbased collection and analysis of information, of which he was the scientiic founder, has madea new impact on the world political arena. Turing himself knew that the computer would involve everything: it was preigured in his futuristic discussion of the meaning of mechanical intelligence, where his all-embracing discourse touched provocatively on topics from sex to cryptography.  \nAndrew Hodges  \nMathematical Institute, University of Oxford  \nPREFACE  \nThis book celebrates the many facets of Alan Turing, the British mathematician and com  \nputing pioneer who is widely considered to be the father of computer science. he book  \nis written for general readers, and Turing’s scientiic and mathematical concepts are explained in an accessible way.  \nEach of the book’s eight parts covers a diferent aspect of Turing’s life and work.
