RE: Wiliam Gibson's Neuromancer is a masterpiece of futurism and dramatic action

Cryptonomicon is a good book but it's long. It's also probably not what most people are thinking from the title... it's basically a book about the WW2 and cryptography from multiple perspectives and it's a multiple long winding stories that eventually come together. I liked it.

Sort:  

Just like the scene about the Euphrates from Snowcrash. Really brought the "Snow" into the "Crash". Maybe that's bad and carnal, but that winding story eventually did have a point, I guess.

I had read about ... the first hundred pages of Cryptonomicon before I put it down. When I pick it up again at some point, I'll get through it.

I've got a small, tiny bookshelf to get through, then I've got ebooks for DAYS.
