Precisely. And, while Cryptonomicon was published first, Quicksilver and The Confusion are chronologiclaly earlier, and comprise the first two-thirds of what Stephenson calls the "Q-BOREAU GLORY-IT"- two seven-letter words, no hyphens
And if you are going actually to _read_ Cryptonomicon after looking at Stephenson's site, then a) you're likely to enjoy it and b) you'll probably enjoy it even more if you read Robert Harris's Enigma first!
(Yes, yes, Enigma is an anagram of gamine, and others. The book is named Enigma.)This message has been edited. Last edited by: haberdasher,
