I got Neal Stephenson's "Cryptonomicon" some days ago.
My micro-review:
Amazingly good. As usual, Stephenson has no idea how to end a book,
but that barely matters -- the ride he takes you for is exceptional,
anyway.
The plot? Well, it would be hard to say what the book is about even if
I wanted to. Lets just say that the story is a loose weave of several
threads, some taking place in the Second World War, some taking place
roughly now. Some of the threads directly involve cryptography, some
do not. You'll be happier just reading it, instead of reading about it.
