Surprises are good, but the thought of missing out is a little frightening. I really need to keep on top of his upcoming projects. Maybe a new reader with no knowledge of Turing may get a bit lost.īut I certainly enjoyed it.

I felt it was probably inaccessible to most people. But the Hodges biography was steeped in math. But there were different facts and stories here.
