我第一次接触替换密码和频率分析是在 11 岁，读 Edgar Allan Poe 的《金甲虫》（The Gold-Bug）。我对那段时光有着美好的回忆，和学校的朋友们一起编写和解码信息。我一直以为很多人的密码学初体验就是那篇短篇小说。
My first contact with substitution cyphers and frequency analysis was at 11, reading the Gold Bug from Edgar Allan Poe. I have fond memories of that time, writing and decoding messages with school friends. I have always assume that a lot of people first contact with criptography was that short story.
……更少的骗局等等。作为后续，你还应该读 Edgar Allan Poe 的四篇短篇小说；其中三篇以 Auguste Dupin 为主角（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Auguste_Dupin），另一篇名为《金甲虫》（The Gold-Bug）。它们启发了 Arthur Conan Doyle 创作 Sherlock Holmes，他在《血字的研究》中提到了这一点。
…less scams etc. As a followup you should also read Edgar Allan Poe's four short stories; three of them featuring Auguste Dupin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Auguste_Dupin) and another named "The Gold Bug". They were an inspiration to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation of Sherlock Holmes and he mentions this in "A Study in Scarlet".
