People with the genius to become great scientists and engineers are a rare breed—but one that bridges all divides of race, gender, and sexual orientation. centenary tribute put it: Turing’s life was one of astounding highs and devastating lows. While his wartime codebreaking saved thousands of lives, his own life was destroyed when he was convicted for homosexuality . But the tragedy of his story should not overshadow his legacy. Turing’s insight laid the foundations of the computer age. It’s no exaggeration to say he’s a founding father of every computer and Internet company today.
