‘A timely and important book … [an] exploration of the possibilities of AI and beyond.’ -- Sir Adrian Smith FRS ‘Strips away the encrusted hagiography that has developed around Alan Turing in recent years … a passionate argument for the lessons we should draw from his life and his extraordinary scientific achievements.’ -- Robert Hannigan ‘Fascinating and highly readable ... My wife Rohini and I feel particularly grateful to have a special link to [Alan Turing] through our house in Coonoor … where Alan’s mother lived for many years.’ -- Nandan Nilekani ‘Essential reading for anyone who thinks they know the history of Alan Turing … a significant reappraisal of his meaning for us today.’ -- Dr Tilly Blyth ‘Dermot compels us to learn from his uncle’s incredible life and many achievements in our own pursuit of creating a better world for all.’ -- Liz Carr
