by Neal Stephenson
Neal Stephenson enjoys cult status among science fiction fans and techie
types thanks to Snow
Crash, which so completely redefined conventional notions of the high-tech future
that it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. But if his cyberpunk classic was big, Cryptonomicon
is huge... gargantuan... massive, not just in size (a hefty 918 pages including
appendices) but in scope and appeal. It's the hip, readable heir to Gravity's Rainbow
and the Illuminatus
trilogy. And it's only the first of a proposed series--for more information, read our
interview with Stephenson.
