... Neil Stephensons "Cryptonomicon"?

Whoever it was, cheers. I'm 300 pages into it and absolutely enthralled. How anyone can mix heavy mathematics, internet tech, WW2 campaign history, cryptography, Bletchley Park (enigma machine code breaking), a modern day fictional account of setting up a Data Haven in the Philippines and make it an interesting page turner is beyond me.

I’ll be getting the sequel I think. After an approx 8 year break from Stephenson, I’m straight back into his writing.

Thanks again.

I've seen this on several occasions and never bought it.

maybe I will some day, but I'm just one man, what difference can I hope to make?

If its good then I recommended it. If it turns out to have a poor ending or anything then the glory can be restored to someone else. heh.


I might have a look at it when I've finished digging through to Kill a mockingbird.
