About the book
A masterful work of science fiction that weaves real history, cryptography, adventure, and humor into a dense and engaging narrative. Neal Stephenson follows multiple timelines: from World War II, through the Cold War, to the 1990s, exploring the central role of cryptography in war, espionage, and the building of financial empires.
With memorable characters and fascinating technical digressions, the work is both an action novel and a meditation on the power of mathematical knowledge and resistance against surveillance. Intended for readers who appreciate ambitious narratives, technology, and the intersection between history and fiction.
