Turing: The Tragic Life of Alan Turing Audiobook Download by Fergus Mason

Alan Turing is a British mathematician and philosopher who received the Turing Award in 2009 for his contributions to computer science. He was also a key figure in breaking Nazi code during WWII, as well as developing the first computer.

This true story of Alan Turing's life is told in a gripping and compelling narrative by multiple narrators. The story begins with the difficult years before Turing was even able to set foot on a campus, as he learned to tell stories through the medium of math. He eventually made it to Cambridge University where he became a prodigy and started publishing his work at age 22. With his intelligence, he was encouraged to do more and more research for England during World War II. His brilliance would change the world forever, but ultimately lead to his tragic downfall.

Throughout his life, Alan Turing was an enigmatic man. His family would not speak of him and the world knew very little about his personal life. By the end of the 20th century, he had become a national hero for his code-breaking work at Bletchley Park during World War II and was posthumously awarded a royal pardon by Queen Elizabeth II in 2013. In Fergus Mason's new biography, Turing: The Tragic Life of Alan Turing, we learn more about this genius, including some traumatic memories from childhood and adolescence that may help to explain some of the enigmatic nature of his adulthood and eventual suicide.

Alan Turing's brilliance with computers and artificial intelligence revolutionized how we live today. His work led to the development of computers, artificial intelligence, and home automation. Turing's work also led to his subsequent arrest for being gay in 1952. Alan Turing was a mathematician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, computer scientist and gay man who, despite this tragedy was an early pioneer of computer science and artificial intelligence.

Alan Turing was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, computer scientist and theoretical biologist. He also invented the Turing machine, a model for thinking about computation. In 1952 he was convicted of gross indecency and underwent chemical castration therapy as an alternative to prison.

Alan Mathison Turing was a British mathematician and cryptanalyst who led the development of modern computer science, including algorithms and mechanical direction. He wrote much of the theoretical basis for the modern computer, including algorithms used in cryptanalysis. He is widely considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence.
