dna4ever 2 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Brief overview / Book report?wikipedia - Cryptonomicon is a 1999 English language novel by Neal Stephenson. It concurrently follows the exploits of World War II-era cryptographers affiliated with Bletchley Park in their attempts to crack Axis codes and fight the Nazi submarine fleet, alongside the story of their descendants, who are attempting to use modern cryptography to build a data haven in the fictitious state of Kinakuta, a small nation with geographical and political parallels to Brunei.Theres a lot more detail on there if you want to know the details without actually reading the book.

The writing is supurb and reading the book is like taking a road trip where the destination doesn't matter, only the trip. Link to post Share on other sites

I think I recommended to someone on here. Neal Stephenson is my favorite author. He is dreamy... Link to post Share on other sites
