Title: Cryptonomicon - 5 star cryptography with a big BUT
Review: CQI have worked in cryptography off and on for going on 25 years and this book, in my opinion, is the best approximation of the field in the novel form. To me this was a five star read, BUT I expect that for readers without a current subscription to Cryptologica it might be considered a difficult read.I would therefore rate it with 5 stars for those with a computer science and cryptography background, 4 stars for those with a computer science background alone, and 3 stars for those willing to dedicate the time to learn both on the fly.GVS OM
