New book coming out: Turing's Cathedral by George Dyson.

I have read an advance copy and can *highly* recommend this book to SIGCIS members.  It focuses on JVN and the IAS work, in particular the applications that were run (which seems a welcome insight given that most history seems to focus on hardware).

Also, CHM will be hosting Dyson for a conversation about Turing's Cathedral on March 7, at the Museum's Hahn Auditorium.

The event will be videotaped and I will send out a link to the recording as soon as it becomes available.

Warm regards,

Dag
