The BBC did an episode of Horizon on it.

It's the same show, Nova just rebranded it in the US. BTW, here's a full video of the BBC version but available everywhere. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x223gx8

I'll check that out - I loved his "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography". Excellent introduction to cryptography.

It does. That’s all part of the drama.

One of the best books I’ve ever read.

Would it be good on audio?

Maybe. Most of it is just good storytelling. There are some light equations and graphs occasionally.

Agreed. I bought it at the airport for a transatlantic flight the year it came out and started reading before lift off. Completed it before landing. Best flight ever.

It does! Very dramatic part of the book.
