A 1999 novel by Neal Stephenson, one of the best examples of postcyberpunk literature, a mixture of science fiction and historical fiction with plenty of references to science, philosophy, history, religion and many other topics. In Cryptonomicon, Stephenson explores the exploits of the cryptographers who worked at Bletchley Park during World War II, linking it to the story of their descendants, who are trying to set up a data haven in the Pacific at the end of the 20th century. Nominated for the Hugo Award in 2000, it quickly became a cult among hackers and cypherpunks.Technical description:
