| Abstract | This book offers an intimate portrait of the practices, embodied knowledge, desires, and friendships that animate the technical innovation of early digital computing. It explores archival materials from the Manchester University National Archive for the History of Computing, the site of some of the earliest digital computers and the first commercial computer. It first analyzes in depth the technical and scientific writing of Alan Turing, then places Turing's work in context. |
