A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The official book behind the Academy Award-winning film The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley

It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times-bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing's royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.

Capturing both the inner and outer drama of Turing's life, Andrew Hodges tells how Turing's revolutionary idea of 1936--the concept of a universal machine--laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing's leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic account of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program--all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime.

The inspiration for a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, Alan Turing: The Enigma is a gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution.

Good quality, not for thick thighs
Color: A-5pack, Size: Large
Good quality and very soft material, true to size as well. Colors hold and I love the full coverage in the back without looking like Granny panties. Washes well and good thickness of fabric. HOWEVER! If you have thicker thighs I do NOT recommend. The fabric bunches when I walk around too much, and becomes very irritating on your very upper thigh where it bunches.

Camp backpack
Color: Flower Pink, Style: Kids-15"h
We bought this backpack for my child’s summer day camp, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! It held up through daily adventures, messy crafts, and more than a few snack explosions — and still looks great. Why it’s perfect for camp: ✔️ Just the right size – Big enough for a water bottle, lunchbox, towel, sunscreen, and a change of clothes — without overwhelming a smaller kid ✔️ Easy to clean – Wipes down well and dries fast after accidental spills ✔️ Fun, kid-friendly design – My child loved the print and could easily spot it in a sea of bags ✔️ Holds up to rough use – After two weeks of daily wear and tear, zippers still work smoothly and no seams have come loose 💡 Bonus: There’s a side pocket for a water bottle and an inside compartment that helped us stay organized — a lifesaver for busy camp mornings.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adorable, Functional, and Toddler-Approved!
Color: Flower Pink, Style: Kids-15"h
I bought this floral backpack for my daughter’s first year of preschool, and we both absolutely love it! The design is so sweet and feminine—she was so excited when she saw the flowers and couldn’t wait to wear it. It’s just the right size for a toddler, not too bulky but still roomy enough to fit her lunchbox, a change of clothes, and a few small books or toys. The quality is impressive—it feels durable, the zippers are smooth, and the straps are adjustable and comfortable for her little shoulders. There’s even a small front pocket for her little treasures and school notes. It’s held up great so far with daily use, and I’ve already had a few parents ask where I got it. Definitely recommend this for any little girl heading back to school—it’s both practical and super cute!

Adorable backpack for a toddler
Color: Flower Pinkish Blue, Style: Toddler-12"h(not Fit Folder)
This is such an adorable backpack! I bought to hold a gift for a 1 year old. Rather than buying a gift bag, I used this backpack. Very cute, seems well made too. Perfect for a little toddler and has perfect space for some of their little books, toys, clothes!
