Neal Stephenson 潜入国家的隐秘历史与个人的私密执念，以令人炫目的高超技艺，解密了塑造这个世纪的诸多力量。1942 年，数学天才兼美国海军年轻上尉 Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse 被分配到 Detachment 2702。这是一个极度机密的编制，知晓其存在的寥寥数人中包括丘吉尔和罗斯福这样的人物。由陆战突击队员 Bobby Shaftoe 指挥的 Detachment 2702 以及 Waterhouse 的任务，就是让纳粹始终蒙在鼓里，不知道盟军情报部门已经破解了……

扯远一点，不过 Neal Stephenson 写的《Cryptonomicon》（密码宝典）是一部非常优秀的小说，把二战密码学主题探讨得相当深入，而且在底层运作机制的数学深度上也讲得挺扎实。我已经读了差不多 75% 了。[1]:……
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. [1]:…
或者你也可以读读《Cryptonomicon》，节奏慢得多，但也更有趣：http://www.amazon.com/Cryptonomicon-Neal-Stephenson/dp/00605... 创业加科幻……那本书一直都是我的心头好。
Or you could read Cryptonimicon, which is a lot slower, but more fun: http://www.amazon.com/Cryptonomicon-Neal-Stephenson/dp/00605... Startups and science fiction... that book is a favorite of mine.
我正在第三次重读 Neal Stephenson 的《Cryptonomicon》，比读第二遍时理解得更透彻了。书里那些精妙的技术性跑题展开，简直像是专门为极客/黑客量身定做的。事实上，主角之一……
I'm reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson for the third time, and understanding it more than the second time. It has wonderful technical digressions that seem aimed precisely at geeks/hackers. In fact, on the the main characters…

如果你对这类东西感兴趣，我强烈推荐 Neal Stephenson 的小说《Cryptonomicon》——它有一部分讲述了一支英美联合反情报部队的行动，他们的任务是确保轴心国察觉不到盟军已经破译了他们的……
If you are interested in that sort of thing, I highly recommend the novel Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson - it is partly about the activities of a joint British/American counterintelligence unit whose mission is to make sure the Axis does not figure out that the Allies have broken their…
很高兴看到 Alan Turing 终于得到了应有的认可。有一本很棒的书描写了二战期间那里的故事，叫《Cryptonomicon》，作者是 Neal Stephenson。书里讲的内容远不止这些，但有很大一部分篇幅都聚焦在布莱切利园（Bletchley Park）。虽然这是部虚构小说，但我强烈推荐给对图灵感兴趣的 HN 朋友们，……
Good to see Alan Turing getting his due. There's a great book about what was happening during WWII there called Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. It's about a lot more than that, but a good chunk is about Bletchley Park. It's a fictionalized account, but I'd highly recommend it to the HN crowd that is interested in Turing,…
