摘要

Christos Papadimitriou's Turing (A Novel about Computation) is an epistolary novel―or rather, an e-pistolary novel, constructed in large part from "transcripts" of electronic messages exchanged by various characters, some of them human beings and some computers. The plot structure is familiar: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. But that structure is perhaps the least important part of the book, as it ignores the fact that the crucial character in this novel is a computer program. This interactive tutoring program, Turing (in the book, the name is always rendered in a different typeface from the rest of the text), is a simulation of Alan Mathison Turing himself, the founder of the field of computer science and a seminal contributor to essentially all of its major sub-fields. The simulation is perfectly fluent; the program even writes in Britishisms: maths, programme, telly, labour.
