Tangent, but Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson[1] is a good novel that touches on WWII cryptography topics really well, going decently mathematically deep into the mechanics of how they work. I'm about 75% of the way through.
I always wondered if Stephenson chose the name "Enoch Root" on a dare, or maybe he has some other story. It's probably something related to an "Enterprise NOC Root" computer account.
The Waterhouses also appear in that novel.
It is the sequel to Reamde.
It's one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. Perhaps the most.
I very highly recommend it, though I imagine much of HN's audience has done so or is at least aware of it.
When they were paper books at least you could throw them across the room. Now that would break my phone.
To me NS books are not much about the plot though. I'm floored how many things that guy knows and how creatively he connect them.
It's only been some hours, so I'm honestly still processing a lot of it. I'll definitely be rereading it. It's considerably grander in scale than Snow Crash, his only other Novel I've read so far, but I'm quite excited to read his other novels.
I was alternating reading with listening for fun.
