LibraryThing combined recommendations | |
- Widsith recommends PopCo by Scarlett Thomas, "More cryptography and conspiracy and earnest philosophical asides (though Thomas writes women characters a lot better than Stephenson)"
- moonstormer recommends Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
- ateolf recommends Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco
- bertilak recommends Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World by Bruce Schneier
- lorax recommends Moby-Dick; or, The Whale by Herman Melville, "Seriously. A big fat book immersing the reader in a bizarre and alien culture, with well-written infodumps on subjects of interest to the narrator interspersed (see more) throughout the story. It's a very Stephenson-esque book."
- S_Meyerson recommends Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
- S_Meyerson recommends The Code Book by Simon Singh
- bertilak recommends In Code: A Mathematical Journey by Sarah Flannery
- daysailor recommends PopCo by Scarlett Thomas, "Same kind of edgy writing, intertwining cryptography history with good story-telling"
- Zaklog recommends Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter, "Cryptonomicon strikes me as the kind of book that Hofstadter would write if he wrote fiction. Both books are complex, with discursive passages on mathematics (see more) and a positively weird sense of humor. If you enjoyed (rather than endured) the explanatory sections on cryptography and the charts of Waterhouse's love life (among other, rarely charted things) you should really like this book."
