Alan Turing broke the German naval Enigma, designed the machine you are almost certainly holding or sitting in front of, invented the test that still frames every argument about artificial intelligence, and explained why leopards have spots. He was prosecuted for being who he was, given hormone injections instead of prison, and died at forty-one beside a half-eaten apple that nobody thought to test. Thinking Machines tells that story, but it argues something most accounts leave out. Turing proved the same thing twice.

We spend a great deal of energy pretending to be certain. We sign our names to opinions we have not examined, defend convictions we inherited rather than chose, and treat the absence of doubt as though it were the same thing as the presence of truth.

This book is a portrait of that mind.

He gave quantum mechanics its mathematical form, invented the theory of games, designed the lenses that squeezed the plutonium core at Trinity, ran the first computer weather forecast, described self-reproducing machines before anyone knew what a gene was made of, and left behind the design that every device you own still follows.

He reached the airport prepared for a routine flight. He never got on the plane. And China would not let him leave the country. In March 2010, American executive Morris Huntly showed up at Shanghai’s airport thinking a short flight home to Hong Kong awaited him. Instead, he found himself stuck in a legal and political black hole. Huntly was snared in China’s opaque system of “exit bans,” where foreigners are kept as human leverage in business disagreements they have no control over.
