The true story of the Turk, the imfamous eighteenth-century automation, links an unlikely cast of historical characters, from Napoleon, Beethoven and Poe to the pioneers of the computer age. A remarkable story in its own right, the Turk's chequered career also provides an accessible way of examining the complex relationship between magic, man, mind and machine, from the Enlightenment to the computer age.
