The book argues that Turing's "vision" is reshaping the world. This vision rests on the idea that intelligence is not an intrinsic property of human beings but an attribute we are naturally inclined to ascribe to certain entities when their behavior elicits this deeply rooted attitude which is tied to the interpretative practice of language.
