A review by dmackinn
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

4.0

While the technical references have shown their age it doesn't harm the premise of the story. This is one of those books where the time required to finish it is not apparent by the page count. You'll end up taking tangental excursions to read up on the some of the references made in the book as supporting literature.

My main criticism of the book is that it takes a bit to wade into the meat of the story, the beginning chapters could have been leaned out a bit.
