This chapter is about Alan Turing (and a few other people) and the development of the first computers during and just after WWII.
This chapter is a pre-publication draft; it may have changed by final publication and it is not in its final published format.
A section within this chapter is called "The imitation game" that not coincidentally is also the title of a new movie to be released in November 2014 about Alan Turing, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley. You can watch the movie's trailer below
