New book: Turing's Cathedral (March 6)
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.
