Before the war he had formulated the concept of the universal machine, and in 1945 he turned this into the first design for a digital computer. Turing's far-sighted plans for the digital era forged ahead into a vision for Artificial Intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, in 1952 his homosexuality rendered him a criminal and he was subjected to humiliating treatment. In 1954, aged 41, Alan Turing committed suicide and one of Britain's greatest scientific minds was lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes monochrome images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nNew with only light shelf wear on covers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55452081422628,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/3876028564628725704.jpg?v=1793163812","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/alan-turing-the-enigma-by-andrew-hodges","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
