The Annotated Turing

Jeff Atwood, over at Coding Horror, draws my attention to The Annotated Turing, by Charles Petzold. Sounds interesting. Alongside Andrew Hodges’ magisterial biography of Turing, this looks to be a worthwhile exploration of the man’s work.  It is just somewhat depressing that, judging from the comments on Atwood’s post, even now the fact that Turing was gay brings the bigots out of the woodwork.
