Charles Petzold: The Annotated Turing
I’m about 1/3 the way through this now and I’d highly recommend it to discerning programmers everywhere.
The book gives a lot of background information that you’d not get just reading the paper by itself. Turing’s paper doesn’t start until page 64 – everything before that is an introduction to number theory (with emphasis on Cantor and Hilbert).
