With this extraordinary first volume in what promises to be an epoch-makingmasterpiece, Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret histories of nations and theprivate obsessions of men, decrypting with dazzling virtuosity the forces thatshaped this century.In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse - mathematicalgenius and young Captain in the U.S. Navy - is assigned to detachment 2702. Itis an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and someof those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission ofWatrehouse and Detatchment 2702-commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe-is tokeep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked theenemys fabled Enigma code. It is a game, a cryptographic chess match betweenWaterhouse and his German counterpart, translated into action by the gung-hoShaftoe and his forces.Fast-forward to the present, where Waterhousescrypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a data haven inSoutheast Asia - a place where encrypted data can be stored and exchanged freeof repression and scrutiny. As governments and multinationals attack theendeavor, Randy joins forces with Shaftoes tough-as-nails grandaughter, Amy, tosecretly salvage a sunken Nazi sumarine that holds the key to keeping the dreamof a data haven afloat. But soon their scheme brings to light a massiveconspiracy with its roots in Detachment 2702 linked to an unbreakable Nazi codecalled Arethusa. And it will represent the path to unimaginable riches and afuture of personal and digital liberty...or to universal totalitarianismreborn.A breathtaking tour de force, and Neal Stephensons most accomplished andaffecting work to date, CRYPTONOMICON is profound and prophetic, hypnotic andhyper-driven, as it leaps forward and back between World War II and the WorldWide Web, hinting all the while at a dark day-after-tomorrow.
