Alan Turing's Manchester | Virtual Talk
Manchester is proud of Alan Turing but does it deserve to be? Jonathan Swinton's book Alan Turing’s Manchester book explores the complexity of the city Turing encountered in 1948.
His book is a richly illustrated account of the lives lived – and of one cut tragically short.
In this online talk for TNMOC, Jonathan will tour this smog-bound, bombed-out city that was busy creating one of the first computers.
Jonathan will look at how the tensions of class, gender, and sexuality converged at a time of great technical innovation and at the consequences this had for Alan Turing and the development of post-war British computing.
You can buy Jonathan's book at the TNMOC online shop:
