A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines

A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines

Kurt GÃ¶delâ€™s Incompleteness Theorems sent shivers through Viennaâ€™s intellectual circles and directly challenged Ludwig Wittgensteinâ€™s dominant philosophy. Alan Turingâ€™s mathematical genius helped him break the Nazi Enigma Code during WWII. Though they never met, their lives strangely mirrored one anotherâ€”both were brilliant, and both met with tragic ends. Here, a mysterious narrator intertwines these parallel lives into a double helix of genius and anguish, wonderfully capturing not only two radiant, fragile minds but also the zeitgeist of the era.
