[MilCom] Very interesting book found

[Scott Bauer, W3CV]

OK, May be slightly off topic to some but here goes. 

 The book I found on eBay and purchased for $1.24 is called  CRYPTONOMICON!
Written by Neal Stephenson in 1999. 1152 pages

 I had to by it. Here is one of the raves: CRYPTONOMICON is great news.for many readers, the prospect of getting lost in a thousand pages of Stephenson's intoxicating, roller coaster prose will far outweigh the risk of getting compressed discs from carting this beast around. this is a big book and so its themes are fittingly big. 
 
 It provides the clearest visions yet of why people who care about cryptology care so very much about it., and why the people who fight it are so frightened of its potential.

 Find a copy and read it!
