The Imitation Game: Alan Turing Decoded (2016)

The math and computing pick for readers who saw the film and want the ideas instead of the drama. Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis cover Alan Turing's work on computing and artificial intelligence as well as the cracking of the German Enigma during World War II, giving the abstract side of his work as much room as the codebreaking. Purvis draws in graphite and pigment, which gives the book a quiet, pencil-on-paper look that suits a story about thinking. Pair it with Logicomix, where Turing is one of the thinkers Russell's story reaches; this book shows what he did with those questions.
