Synopsis & Specifications:

• Author: Neal Stephenson
• Print Length: 1168 pages
• The narrative spans two distinct eras—World War II and the modern day. 1940s operatives include cryptographic genius Lawrence Waterhouse and morphine-dependent marine Bobby Shaftoe, members of Detachment 2702 tasked with decoding Axis communications while concealing the fact that their encryption has been cracked. Alan Turing also features within the unit, illustrating elaborate deceptions designed to mislead enemy forces.
• In the contemporary timeline, the descendants of these wartime agents—geek icon Randy Waterhouse and Amy Shaftoe—collaborate to establish an offshore data haven in Southeast Asia while tracking down lost Nazi gold. Mysterious figure Enoch Root ties both eras together with an encryption scheme originating from the Second World War.
