Alan Turing and His Contemporaries.

Building the world’s first computers

Simon Lavington (Editor)

Secret wartime projects in code-breaking, radar and ballistics produced 
a wealth of ideas and technologies that kick-started the development of 
digital computers.

By 1955 computers had begun to appear in the market-place. The 
Information Age was dawning and Alan Turing and his contemporaries held 
centre stage. Their influence is still discernable deep down within 
today’s hardware and software.

Told by top historians, this is a fascinating story of the people and 
projects that flourished in the post-war period.
