In 'The Arethusa Code', the latest installment of the Cryptonomicon trilogy, Neal Stephenson intertwines two distinct eras with a fascinating plot. In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse, a mathematical genius and captain in the U.S. Navy, collaborates with Alan Turing to decipher the secret codes of the Axis powers. Sixty years later, his grandson, Randy Waterhouse, a brilliant cryptohacker, plans to create the Crypt, a data haven representing computer freedom. As the story progresses, Wagner and the Rhine's gold become intertwined in this chameleonic narrative that blends science fiction, alternate history, and thriller with humor and irony. Winner of the 2000 Locus Award, this novel is a masterpiece of modern storytelling.
