Cryptonomicon - by Neal Stephenson

'An astonishing monumental performance'

• Independent

'A novel of such ambition and intensity that most modern fiction looks timid and shallow in comparison'

• Guardian

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 stories of the cracking of the Axis codes during WWII and of a 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 gripping and page-turning thriller.

'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.'

• Richard Rorty in the 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

'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.'
