In The Imitation Game (2014), Joan Clarke tells Alan Turing: “Sometimes it’s the very people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.”
Turing was mocked, doubted, and sidelined. He didn’t look like a “hero.” He didn’t act like one either. Yet his work breaking the N**i Enigma code saved an estimated 14 million lives and laid the foundation for modern computers.
