Distinguished science writer George Dyson's newest book, "Turing's Cathedral," has been called "the definitive history of the computer." The book chronicles the Institute for Advanced Study in the 1940s and 1950s, when work on Turing's dream of a universal machine led to computers, digital television, modern genetics, and more.
