Cryptonomicon Neal Stephenson
'Pynchon meets Gibson in the biggest novel of the season' TIME OUT Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret histories of nations and the private obsessions of men, decrypting with dazzling virtuosity the forces that have shaped the past century. Weaving together the cracking of the Axis codes during WWII and the quest to establish a free South East Asian 'data haven' for digital information in the present, Cryptonomicon explores themes of power, information, secrecy and war in the twentieth century in a gripping and page-turning thriller. 'The Gravity's Rainbow of the information age... an astonishing, monumental performance; and if the rumours of a sequel are true, I can hardly wait.' INDEPENDENT 'Mixes history and fiction in the way that Don DeLillo did in Underworld. Stephenson's book is more successful than DeLillo's, and much funnier.' TLS 'BOOKS OF THE YEAR' 'What cyberculture needs right now is not another science-fiction novel but its first great historical novel, and Cryptonomicon is it' VILLAGE VOICE 'Proves that [Stephenson] is the rarest of geniuses, capable of appreciating math, cultural traditions, free markets, computer programming and the human psyche...without ignoring the subtleties involved in any of them' NEW YORK POST
