Famous codebreaker and computer scientist Alan Turing’s legend has grown through books and films such as The Imitation Game, and it has become a challenge to  discern the real man from the story.  Now, Alan Turing’s nephew, Sir Dermot Turing, has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing’s life and creativity in his new biography Prof: Alan Turing Decoded. As a family member and a trustee of Bletchley Park, the UK headquarters for codebreaking during WWII, Dermot Turing has a fresh perspective on this extraordinary man. The author will share the insights he gained from secret documents only recently released and other sources not tapped by previous biographers including Turing’s letters to his close friend writer, scholar, and editor, Nick Furbank.  Join us for a unique look at a true genius.
