A creator may solve impossible puzzles with his brain or write a symphony; he turns nothing into something. Success in his endeavor may result in the masses of society clustering at the median to call him "genius." But, beware: this means they can neither understand the achievement nor hope to equal the mind who made it.

Such is the cautionary tale of Alan Mathison Turing, master of the puzzle and the father of the modern computer.
