British mathematician and biographer Andrew Hodges is known for a writing career that goes far beyond his academic credentials. Hodges, who worked as a mathematician at Oxford University, made a big impact with the comprehensive biography titled "Alan Turing: The Enigma", which he published in 1983. This work, which describes in depth the life and tragedy of Alan Turing, the genius mathematician who laid the foundations of artificial intelligence and the modern computer, has become a classic over the years. Hodges's writing adventure took on a new dimension with the adaptation of this biography for the stage and screen. 1996's Breaking the Code turned Turing's story into a television movie for the BBC; Hodges took on screenwriting for this project. Years later, the same source work inspired the movie The Imitation Game, released in 2014. This production attracted great attention worldwide with its portrayal of Turing, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, and was nominated for many awards. The Turing biography written by Hodges reveals not only the life of a scientist, but also the social pressures of the period and how a genius was unfairly ignored. Hodges, one of the few writers who can so skillfully blend mathematics and human drama, played a decisive role in bringing Turing's legacy to the masses.
