imitation game, the book
-
i'm reading the book. written in 1983! highly recommended. gets very interesting after Part I. i think it would be of special interest to OOPers (work on set theory and the idea of classes and types (not necessarily as OOP because it didn't really exist, but as concepts/approaches to problems such as godel's)) and crypto-people.

Didn't read that one, but I read this one: The Annotated Turing[^] It was pretty good, but it's basically only about the Turing Machine, i.a. the creation of a theoretical computer and its potential and limitation.

You are obviously a fan of fiction. Fine. The book and it's film (although very entertaining) has been disowned by most who know the facts first hand. Much better to read a factual account as others have suggested.

Sure it did. The only difference was that it was called "programming", without the pointless prefix.
