Book summary

In the first of a projected trilogy, Stephenson explores alchemy as one of the roots of mathematics and computers. With the ancestors of characters appearing in CRYPTONOMICON (Stephenson's previous novel), this literary adventure traverses Europe of the 1700s, with stops in the laboratories of some of the most famous scientists of the day, while in a separate timeline set one hundred years earlier, a drifter attempts to help a young woman exact revenge against her former captors. Winner of the 2004 Arthur C. Clarke award and a New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
