Alan Turing was a brilliant mathematician, wartime master codebreaker and inventor of the computer. He was a visionary genius who saw no reason why true "thinking machines" could not be built in our lifetime. Turing was also a political and moral innocent. Openly homosexual, he was convicted of gross indecency in 1952. Two years later he killed himself by cyanide poisoning at the age of 41.
