Cryptonomicon

Zusatztext Bound together by the thread of cryptography! this novel ranges acrossthe years from the breaking of the Enigma codes to freedom and securityon the Internet. It is Stephenson's deft handling of the characters thatcarries the plot along! rather than the dialogue and the plot! making thisboth a great historical thriller and an homage to cyberculture. Definitelyan author to watch.
