Its a good one basically two parrallel storylines following two generations, one involved in cryptography WWII, the other their modern day descendants...
​
hard to describe but basically think of it as a historical/present day thriller that uses a lot of science and maths...

There is now a prequel trilogy to Cryptonomicon, "The Baroque Cycle".
I've read the first (Quicksilver) and enjoyed it more than Cryptonomicon.
​
And as soon as I can wrest it from the unwilling hands of my wife it shall be read....
