User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Alan Turing is one of the most original philosophers and brilliant mathematicians of the 20th century, yet rather unknown to the masses. He is one the key figures behind the modern computer and the whole idea of artificial intelligence. But sadly as many other extra-ordinary people he wasnt accepted by the society of his time due to homosexuality and was even prosecuted. His life ended tragically and under unclear circumstances.It is always exciting to read such life stories and gain insights into different times and also perhaps have a glance at the thinking process of a genius. The following book provides a nice introduction/overview of Turing’s life and also outlines his key ideas and contributions. After reading it you will certainly feel more knowledgeable and could have a grasp of his significance.Yet I feel that for the given high price the book is rather short and often lacks in depth analysis, its similar to Oxford primer series, which aim to give general introduction and leave the reader with suggestions.After reading this book I certainly became greatly interested in Turing and will search for other more in-depth works.Overall:Nice introduction, rather expensive, guaranteed to leave you hungry for more.
