Beyond this it also considers questions raised by different episodes in Turing's life and background which have resonance in relation to wider themes today, including women in science, criminalization of sexuality, and iconography. Having grown up in the shadow of his uncle's reputation and with access to family papers, Dermot Turing is perfectly positioned to give a new perspective and answer for the first time in writing the questions that arise time and again from audiences at the talks and lectures he gives about his famous relative.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Dermot Turing </b>is the author of the acclaimed biography <i>Prof</i>, about the life of his uncle, Alan Turing and <i>X, Y & Z: the Real Story of How Enigma Was Broken</i>.
