minus-squareblackluster117@possumpat.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoActually have been reading this fantastic book called Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. MacArthur has an excellent set of cameos.
minus-squarePons_Aelius@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoWhile I like Neal Stephenson (favourite being Diamond Age) I haven't read Cryptonomicon. His novels do contain riffs on history and persons from the past I wouldn't rely on his works for solid historical knowledge.
minus-squareblackluster117@possumpat.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoOf course, but the entertainment value is unparalleled. You'll see if you ever get around to reading the book, which again, I highly recommend.
