During World War II, young math genius Lawrence Waterhouse is involved in breaking German encryption systems. In modern times, his grandson Randy, a computer hacker, helps build an autonomous "data haven" in Southeast Asia. The grandson's fate is tied to his grandfather's work, to an international conspiracy that could bring the world into bondage to a new totalitarianism. At times hilarious, densely packed with information on topics ranging from cryptanalysis and hacking to treasure hunting, this novel is a true modern epic. On the one hand - a marvelous, completely original portrait of the wartime era. On the other is a provocative reflection on how science and technology help shape-and change-the course of human history. A work of great erudition and equally great creative power, it is-and will remain-one of the great literary achievements of the modern era.
