The Turing Test is a BBC Books original novel written by Paul Leonard and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Eighth Doctor.
The story is in three parts, written as if by three historical figures: mathematician Alan Turing and novelists Graham Greene and Joseph Heller respectively.
The Turing Test won Best Book in the 2000 Jade Pagoda awards, voted on by members of a Doctor Who book mailing list.[1]
Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear.
