I was asked a few weeks ago to write an article for the US Oxford’s OUPblog. They’re running a sequence of entries from authors about Turing to celebrate 100 years since Alan Turing was born. Having written Digitized recently, which includes the stories of many pioneers of computing, not just Turing, I thought it might be fun to illustrate some of the views of Turing’s contemporaries. So I wrote this slightly controversial blog entry for them… Enjoy!
