Title: Neal Stephenson's most satisfying novel yet
Review: Be warned! This book WILL consume your free time, and probably start stealing your sleep. At over 900 pages, it's a hefty read, but I'm glad Neal Stephenson was able to get the entire length published. Not a word is wasted.My grandfather was a cryptologist in WWII, part of the Asiatic fleet, and so this book had particular relevance for me. I have shared this book with him, as well as many hours of discussions and tangents as a result.For the reader who enjoys Cryptonomicon, I also suggest as further reading:Codebreakers: The Inside Story of Bletchley Park by Hinsley and StrippandThe Puzzle Palace by James Bamford
