Technology Neal Stephenson's message in code After Snow Crash's cyberpunk, it's cypherpunk, reports Jim McClellan Tweet this The Guardian Thursday 14 October 1999 A 900-page novel that hops between world war two code breaking and modern hacker culture, covering cryptography and cypherpunk politics, occasionally making space for lengthy digressions on the maths behind cryptosystems or the correct way to eat Captain Crunch breakfast cereal; let's be honest - it doesn't sound like a sure fire commercial hit. And I haven't even mentioned the appendix, by the encryption expert Bruce Schneier, about Solitaire, a real encryption system which uses a simple deck of cards and crops up in the novel under a different name. Nevertheless, when it was published in America, at the start of the summer, Cryptonomicon, by American SF author Neal Stephenson, made the best seller charts, even briefly knocking Harry Potter off the top of the Amazon.com list. The high ranking is a tribute to Stephenson's status in techno-cultural circles. Put simply, he is the computer geek's author of choice. Mainstream critics still think that William Gibson holds that position - thanks to his invention of the term cyberspace (in his groundbreaking 1984 novel Neuromancer). But Snow Crash, Stephenson's 1992 novel, changed all that. It wasn't just the book's vision of a virtual world (called The Street).

Authors A-Z Stephenson Neal Cryptonomicon Neal Stephenson November 2002 Mass Market Paperback Book Review 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 seriesfor more information, read our interview with Stephenson. Cryptonomicon zooms all over the world, careening conspiratorially back and forth between two time periodsWorld War II and the present. Our 1940s heroes are the brilliant mathematician Lawrence Waterhouse, cryptanalyst extraordinaire, and gung ho,... Quicksilver: Volume One of The Baroque Cycle Neal Stephenson September 2004 Paperback Book Review In Quicksilver, the first volume of the "Baroque Cycle," Neal Stephenson launches his most ambitious work to date. The novel, divided into three books, opens in 1713 with the ageless Enoch Root seeking Daniel Waterhouse on the campus of what passes for MIT in eighteenth-century Massachusetts. Daniel, Enoch's message conveys, is key to resolving an explosive scientific battle of preeminence between Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz over the development of calculus. As Daniel returns to London aboard the Minerva, readers are catapulted back half a century to recall his years at Cambridge with young Isaac. Daniel is a perfect historical witness. Privy to Robert Hooke's early drawings of microscope images and with associates among the English nobility, religious radicals, and the Royal Society, he also befriends Samuel...
