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.
