bracky 's review for:
Cryptonomicon
by Neal Stephenson
This amazing mixture of cryptography, computers, adventure, war, love, and (pseudo)philosophical debate creates a one of a kind novel (or perhaps opus is the correct term). A nerdy, but o so appealing, book, full of side-stories, or anecdotes that make it into an extremely pleasurable read.
-----------
Second reading. Still brilliant. It appeals on so many levels to my inner nerd. It has so many quirky asides about nerdy ways of looking at the things that happen in ordinary life, I caught myself applying some of them on things that were happening around me and laughing.
Great read, worth the 1150 pages.
