“Cryptonomicon was just as much fun the second time around. A dimly remembered tale of cryptology and derring-do expanded into a compelling story filled with well-drawn characters and a wonderful sense of excitement and wonder. Even when the narrative overdoes it a bit whimsically, it’s easy to overlook because of the book’s many other virtues.
Plus, either I am becoming reconciled to Stephenson’s anti-endings or this one actually comes to a satisfying conclusion.”
