Title: Wonderful insights but a tough read
Review: About half of this book is directed at Rosenheim's fellow academics, arguing the significance of Edgar Allen Poe in technical terms that were outside my experience. But the rest of the book more than made up for it, drawing parallels between 'crypt' and 'cryptography' as it were. Rosenheim makes a good case for Poe's contributions to both the technical and cultural impact of cryptography today
