Alan Turing, a pivotal figure in World War II, is renowned for deciphering the German Enigma code, which significantly contributed to the Allies' victory. Post-war, he advanced modern computer science with his development of the universal Turing machine and the Imitation Game, an enduring AI test.

Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis portray him as an eccentric genius whose legacy continues to influence contemporary science and technology.
