Andrew Hodges is the author of 'Alan Turing: The Enigma' - his definitive biography (and the official book behind the Academy Award-winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley). Andrew has spent his life deeply researching Turing's extraordinary life - from inventing the computer and breaking Nazi codes at Bletchley Park, to his tragic persecution and death at 41. In this conversation, we explore the mind of the man who changed computing forever.
