The Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded

By Jim Ottaviani, illustrated by Leland Purvis, Abrams ComicArts, 2016.

About

A realistic, imaginative, well-drawn graphic novel exploring the life and death of the great mathematician and pioneer of artificial intelligence and computer science,  Alan Turing. His incredible feats during and after WWII were overshadowed by prosecution for being homosexual. As Ottaviani notes, “I wish I lived in a world that benefited from decades more of Alan Turing alive and well, thinking and discovering.”
