Recenzija knjige
Neal Stephenson is an ambitious man. Not content with writing an intricate history of
computing and cryptography from the second world war to the present day, he weaves it into
a complex plot across generations of superbly crafted characters. In so doing, Stephenson
creates an exceedingly entertaining work of fiction on a skeleton of
historical and technical fact with superb skill. Enthralling to all, he fires the
imagination with his insight and knowledge.
Probably the highest accolade that can be paid to this book is the breadth of backgrounds
of readers who have enjoyed it. Everyone, be they artist, scientist or anywhere between
will devour this book.
