Cryptonomicon


Cryptonomicon is simply one of the best books I've read, and I've read a lot. Those who love hard science fiction complemented with insightful characterization and wonderful plots (from such modern authors as Greg Egan, Greg Bear, and David Brin) will find this book a home run. Though the setting is contemporary (while at the same time, historical, dealing with WWII and the Allies' methods of breaking enemy code, for starters), the bleeding edge of today's technology takes on a glow only found in the very best hard science fiction. If you can't tell, I really enjoyed this book.


Another great book.
