ISBN: 9780380788620 - cryptonomicon: from cracking the enigma code in wwii to building a modern data haven, two families chase a sunken nazi sub's deadly secret. (29 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. With this extraordinary first volume in an epoch-making masterpiece, Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret histories of nations and the private obsessions of men, decrypting with dazzling virtuosity the forces that shaped this century. In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse--mathematical genius and young Captain in the U.S. Navy--is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Waterhouse and Detachment 2702--commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe-is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. It is a game in this work of historical fiction, a cryptographic chess match between Waterhouse and his German counterpart, translated into action by the gung-ho Shaftoe and his forces. Fast-forward to the present, where Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia--a place where encrypted data can be stored and exchanged free of repression and scrutiny. As governments and multinationals attack the endeavor, Randy joins forces with Shaftoe's tough-as-nails granddaughter, Amy, to secretly salvage a sunken Nazi submarine that holds the key to keeping the dream of a data haven afloat. But soon their scheme brings to light a massive conspiracy with its roots in Detachment 2702 linked to an unbreakable Nazi code called Arethusa. And it will represent the path to unimaginable riches and a future of personal and digital liberty.or to universal totalitarianism reborn. A breathtaking tour de force, and Neal Stephenson's most accomplished and affecting work to date, this techno-thriller, Cryptonomicon, is profound and prophetic, hypnotic and hyper-driven, as it leaps forward and back between World War II and the World Wide Web, hinting all the while at a dark day-after-tomorrow. It is a work of great art, thought and creative daring; the product of a truly iconoclastic imagination working with white-hot intensity.…

Zustand: Good. : En 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse, un genio matemático y joven capitán de la Marina de los EE. UU., es asignado al destacamento 2702, una unidad tan secreta que solo un puñado de personas saben de su existencia, algunas de ellas con nombres como Churchill y Roosevelt. La misión de Waterhouse y el destacamento 2702, comandados por el Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe, es mantener a los nazis en la ignorancia sobre el hecho de que la Inteligencia Aliada ha descifrado el famoso código Enigma del enemigo. En el presente, el nieto de Waterhouse, Randy, un cripto-hacker, intenta crear un "paraíso de datos" en el sudeste asiático, un lugar donde los datos encriptados puedan almacenarse e intercambiarse libres de represión y escrutinio. Mientras los gobiernos y las multinacionales atacan el proyecto, Randy une fuerzas con la nieta de Shaftoe, Amy, para rescatar en secreto un submarino nazi hundido que guarda la clave para mantener a flote el sueño de un paraíso de datos. Pero pronto su plan saca a la luz una conspiración masiva con raíces en el destacamento 2702, vinculada a un código nazi irrompible llamado Arethusa, que representa el camino hacia riquezas inimaginables y un futuro de libertad personal y digital. o hacia el renacimiento del totalitarismo universal.
