My Review            :

This is as rich in history as it is a fantastic Sci-Fi adventure. If you ever wondered where cryptography came from, it was developed in the NJ Pine Barrens, on a bicycle ride by some Princeton graduate students. The story moves in two directions–from the past to the present and from the Future to the present on a delicious crash course. Great for any Security Engineer to keep in their quiver.
