A review by phidgt
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

3.0

It’s a daunting task simply to pick up this book as it is over 1,000 pages in length. One suggestion; do not try to read the mass paperback version it is much too unwieldy. This book is an excellent read and Stephenson keeps everything moving right along. Cryptonimicon is actually four separate stories that slowly become interwoven to create one. The book blends historical fiction from WWII with present day computer technology in a very believable manner. None of the technology is over the top which is why I definitely preferred this Stephenson novel over his earlier work, Snow Crash.
