3 0 ReplyNow you are just blowing my mind.
2 0 ReplyWhat if I told you it is possible to actually read the books that Dan used as source material to create his podcasts...
2 0 ReplyActually have been reading this fantastic book called Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. MacArthur has an excellent set of cameos.
1 0 ReplyWhile I like Neal Stephenson (favourite being Diamond Age) I haven't read Cryptonomicon.
His novels do contain riffs on history and persons from the past I wouldn't rely on his works for solid historical knowledge.
2 0 ReplyOf course, but the entertainment value is unparalleled. You'll see if you ever get around to reading the book, which again, I highly recommend.
1 0 ReplyThanks for the recommendation. It is on my To be read list...but that is a very long list.
