And then we talked about the thinking machine, and I confessed to not understanding its parameters, and then the ninja girl explained.
That's a good legacy.
That's lovely--and so's the story you quote from Alan Turing: The Enigma
It's a very good biography. Hugh Whitemore used it as the basis for Breaking the Code (1986), which I read first by about a dozen years: and fell very hard for. It just turned out I like Turing's life better than even an intelligent dramatization of it. (For starters, the real-life Joan Clarke was awesome.)
