Abstract

Many of us now imagine that in the future humans either will, or at least could, 'in theory', construct an electronic digital computer which would really be a thinking thing. Alan Turing was one of the first and surely the most notable exponent of this view, and a significant proportion of his published work was devoted to arguing for it. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
