I'm really interested about his work habits as well - added your questions to my list. Right now I'm procrastinating editing my podcast by reading HN :)

Do you have any questions about The Annotated Turing? For me, I'm really interested in the story behind why he wrote it. As he writes in the introduction:

"Turing's original motivation in writing this paper was to solve a problem formulated by German mathematician David Hilbert ..."

I want to know Petzold's motivation for writing this. I know there's a story behind there somewhere especially given how long it took him to write the book :)
