N209. The Turing Code: Adventures in Artificial Intelligence and Computing - Large Chapter 1: The Runaway Intellect The world had undergone a profound transformation in the two centuries since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Bound by neither the shackles of ignorance nor the limitations of their ancestors, humanity had taken hold of its own destiny, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and propelling technology forward through an unprecedented explosion of science and engineering. Yet, amidst this breathtaking progress, one field stood out among the rest—the realm of computer science. Nowhere was the profound impact of computer science more apparent than at the illustrious Turing Institute in the heart of London. Housed within its hallowed halls, some of the world's greatest scientific minds and visionary engineers toiled ceaselessly under the tutelage of the grand master himself, Alan Turing. Turing, an enigmatic figure with an unparalleled intellect, was nearing the compl...
