Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges

3.0

I would give this book 5 stars for historical textbook, but for the average reader, it's just too hard to understand. The history of computer science was interesting, but all the literary, political, philosophical and whatever-else-they-were references were too much. And switching between the Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland metaphors just made it harder to figure out. For the super-academic, this would be an awesome book. I'm still glad I read it.
