    Award winning authors Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis present a historically accurate graphic novel biography of English mathematician and scientist Alan Turing in 'The Imitation Game'. English mathematician and scientist Alan Turing (1912–1954) is credited with many of the foundational principles of contemporary computer science. 'The Imitation Game' presents a historically accurate graphic novel biography of Turing’s life, including his groundbreaking work on the fundamentals of cryptography and artificial intelligence. His code breaking efforts led to the cracking of the German Enigma during World War II, work that saved countless lives and accelerated the Allied defeat of the Nazis. While Turing’s achievements remain relevant decades after his death, the story of his life in post-war Europe continues to fascinate audiences today. Award-winning duo Jim Ottaviani (the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Feynman and Primates) and artist Leland Purvis (an Eisner and Ignatz Award nominee and occasional reviewer for the Comics Journal) present a factually detailed account of Turing’s life and groundbreaking research—as an unconventional genius who was arrested, tried, convicted, and punished for being openly gay, and whose innovative work still fuels the computing and communication systems that define our modern world. Computer science buffs, comics fans, and history aficionados will be captivated by this riveting and tragic story of one of the 20th century’s most unsung heroes.

    OTTAVIANI / PURVIS

    ALAN TURING, THE BRILLIANT MATHEMATICIAN WHO


    cracked the German Enigma code, enabled a group of British code
    breakers to shorten World War II by years. That alone would be
    enough to secure Turings place in history, but his genius did not stop
    there. He launched modern computer science through his creation of
    the universal Turing machine and the Imitation Game, an artificialintelligence test that is still in use today.
    Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis present Turing as an eccentric
    genius, an Olympic-class runner, and a groundbreaking theoretician
    whose seminal work still plays a role in todays science and the
    telecommunication systems that fuel our modern world.
