This week is the 70th anniversary of Alan Turing’s death at the young age of 41 years old. Turing was a British mathematician, best known for his contributions to theoretical computer science and codebreaking – Work that was critical in cracking the German Enigma code during World War II. Turing is known now as the father of artificial intelligence and the modern computer.

To commemorate his life and achievements, Andrew sat down with Dr. Andrew Hodges, an emeritus senior research fellow of mathematics at the University of Oxford. In 1983, Andrew published one of the first books to explore Turing’s story and work on Enigma – A book that would later become the inspiration for the 2014 Oscar-nominated film The Imitation Game. Tune in to this special episode of SpyCast to learn more about Alan Turing, a true visionary and enigma himself.

And…

In 2014, Andrew shared the stage of the Royal Albert Hall with the Pet Shop Boys during their BBC Concert Orchestra performance of “A Man From The Future,” a musical evocation of the life and achievements of Alan Turing. It is well worth a listen after you finish this week’s episode!
