To the Best of Our Knowledge: Alan Turing, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, Alan Turing was only 41 when he committed suicide. He had already laid the foundations for the computer and artificial intelligence. As a codebreaker working with British intelligence, he helped save the Allies from the Nazis. Filmmaker Patrick Sammon's new docu-drama, Codebreaker, tells the story of Alan Turing's brilliant life and of his persecution by British authorities for the crime of being homosexual. Next, in the mid-1930's, Alan Turing made the revolutionary discovery that launched the digital age. He proved that information can be translated and communicated using nothing but a series of ones and zeroes. Every digital device we know today uses Turing's mathematics. And that was just the first of Turing's intellectual achievements. Biographer Andrew Hodges explains Turing's genius. Then, computer programmer Mohan Embar describes competing for -- and winning! -- the 2012 Loebner Prize for Artificial Intelligence. His chat bot, Chip Vivant, was the most "human computer" of the year. But it still couldn't pass the Turing Test.After that, British writer Alan Garner shares his memories of his friend and running partner, Alan Turing.Following that, Brian Christian is the author of The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What It Means to Be Alive. He tells us why he decided to compete in the annual Turing competition -- for the Loebner Prize -- not for the most human computer, but for the "most human human." Next, in Turing's Cathedral, George Dyson tells the "creation story" of the computer age -- the story of the birth of the first computers and the first address matrix. Dyson grew up playing in the backyard of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton -- where his parents, and a team of brilliant engineers and mathematicians, developed the prototype of the computers we still use today.And finally, novelist Neal Stephenson writes epic, Language: English.

Turing: Pioneer of the Information Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
Alan Turing can be regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. But who was Turing, and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years? Best known as the genius who broke Germany's most secret codes during the war of 1939-45, Turing was also the father of the modern computer. Today, all who 'click-to-open' are familiar with the impact of Turing's ideas. Here, B. Jack Copeland provides an account of Turing's life and work, exploring the key elements of his life-story in tandem with his leading ideas and contributions. The audiobook highlights Turing's contributions to computing and to computer science, including Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life, and the emphasis throughout is on the relevance of his work to modern developments. The story of his contributions to codebreaking during the Second World War is set in the context of his thinking about machines, as is the account of his work in the foundations of mathematics.

Prof: Alan Turing Decoded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into a life of only 42 years the careers of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and biologist. He is widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated by his unappreciative country, and it has become hard to disentangle the real man from the story. It is easy to cast him as a misfit, the stereotypical professor. But actually Alan Turing was never a professor, and his nickname, 'Prof', was given by his codebreaking friends at Bletchley Park. Now Alan Turing's nephew, Dermot Turing, has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing's life and creativity and the later creation of a legend. For the first time it is possible to disclose the real character behind the cipher-text: how did Alan’s childhood experiences influence the man? Who were the influential figures in Alan's formative years? How did his creative ideas evolve? Was he really a solitary, asocial genius? What was his wartime work after 1942, and why was it kept even more secret than the Enigma story? What is the truth about Alan Turing's conviction for gross indecency, and did he commit suicide? What is the significance of the Royal Pardon granted in 2013? In Dermot's own style he takes a vibrant and entertaining approach to the life and work of a true genius. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Alan Turing: The Enigma , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1840min
Listed as one of the essential 50 books of all time in The Guardian Inspired the Academy Award-nominated film, The Imitation Game It’s only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life. A gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution, Andrew Hodges's acclaimed book captures both the inner and outer drama of Turing's life.Hodges tells how Turing's revolutionary idea of 1936--the concept of a universal machine--laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing's leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic story of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program--all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime. ungekürzt.
