Alan Turing, father of modern computing, codebreaker, visionary.
Aunt Ava, Romani clairvoyant, healer, medium.
From a wooden booth on the English coast to the shadowed corridors of wartime intelligence, their lives intertwine in secret. As a boy, Alan is told he will be a genius. As a man, he returns seeking contact with the spirit of Christopher Morcom, the lost friend who shaped his destiny.
In sharing the path of her wisdom, a herbalist and healer reflects upon the lives of those touched by the events of the age.
Through séances, science and suspicion collide. Messages of noughts and ones and oracle mirror the birth of the digital age. But as Britain celebrates victory, the State turns on its saviour. Prosecuted, chemically altered and stripped of security clearance, Alan walks into a darkness Ava senses but cannot prevent.
Was his death truly suicide? Or something more calculated?
Blending history, spirituality and political intrigue, Turing and the Psychic reimagines one of the twentieth century's most tragic enigmas.
