安德鲁·霍奇斯，1949年出生于伦敦城郊，1972年开始研究扭量理论，这是数学家罗杰·彭罗斯开创的、解决物理学根本问题的新方法。霍奇斯对艾伦·图灵如谜的人生深感兴趣，这一半是因为他们都是数学家，另一半是因为他们都是同性恋。70年代，霍奇斯积极投身于同性恋解放运动。1977年，他决心著写一本最详尽的图灵传记，他认为只有这样，才能公正地刻画这位天才的一生。经过多年调查与写作，本书初版于1983年问世。霍奇斯如今已重返本职，在牛津大学瓦德汉学院研究数学。

(excerpts from my proposal for the book) Anyone who has explored the history, technology, or theory of computers has likely encountered the concept of the Turing Machine. The Turing Machine is an imaginary — not even quite hypothetical — computer invented in 1936 by English mathematician Alan Turing (1912–1954) to help solve a question in mathematical logic. As a byproduct, Tur...(展开全部)
