#87 CRYPTONOMICON

CRYPTONOMICON

Neil Stephenson

Spanning WWII and the 90s, this ambitious global book never ceases to inform across a wide-range of subjects: codes, crypto currencies (way before they existed), reinvented (or reimagined) history, hidden treasure, Greek gods, computers, combat, survival, UBoats.  No subject gets short shrift over the 900+ pages. Not a long slog but not for the faint of heart either. 


4.5 stars
