Editorial Reviews

"As so often happens when a historical figure becomes a pop icon, something gets left out in the process, and forcing Turing’s life into the familiar mold of the tortured genius is reductive and misleading. This new graphic novel offers a fuller portrait of Turing as a human being while also honoring his many intellectual accomplishments." —Popmatters.com
