With this extraordinary first volume in what promises to be an
epoch-making masterpiece, Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret
histories of nations and the private obsessions of men, decrypting
with dazzling virtuosity the forces that shaped this century.
In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse - mathematical genius and
young Captain in the U.S. Navy - is assigned to detachment 2702.
It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it
exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and
Roosevelt. The mission of Watrehouse and Detatchment
2702-commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe-is to keep the Nazis
ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the
enemy's fabled Enigma code. It is a game, a cryptographic chess
match between Waterhouse and his German counterpart, translated
into action by the gung-ho Shaftoe and his forces.
Fast-forward to the present, where Waterhouse's crypto-hacker
grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in
Southeast Asia - a place where encrypted data can be stored and
exchanged free of repression and scrutiny. As governments and
multinationals attack the endeavor, Randy joins forces with
Shaftoe's tough-as-nails grandaughter, Amy, to secretly salvage a
sunken Nazi sumarine that holds the key to keeping the dream of a
data haven afloat. But soon their scheme brings to light a massive
conspiracy with its roots in Detachment 2702 linked to an
unbreakable Nazi code called Arethusa. And it will represent the
path to unimaginable riches and a future of personal and digital
liberty...or to universal totalitarianism reborn.
A breathtaking tour de force, and Neal Stephenson's most
accomplished and affecting work to date, CRYPTONOMICON is profound
and prophetic, hypnotic and hyper-driven, as it leaps forward and
back between World War II and the World Wide Web, hinting all the
while at a dark day-after-tomorrow. It is a work of great art,
thought, and creative daring; the product of a truly icon.
