Stephenson, Neal Quicksilver: The Baroque Cycle
ARROW October 7, 2004 0-09-941068-0 / 9780099410683 Paperback Near Fine
Quicksilver is a massive, exuberant and wildly ambitious historical novel t hat's also Neal Stephenson's eagerly awaited prequel to Cryptonomicon--his pyrotechnic reworking of the 20th century, from World War II codebreaking a nd disinformation to the latest issues of Internet data privacy. Quicksilver, "Volume One of the Baroque Cycle", backtracks to another time of high intellectual ferment: the late 17th century, with the natural philo sophers of England's newly formed Royal Society questioning the universe an d dissecting everything that moves. One founding member, the Rev John Wilki ns, really did write science fiction and a book on cryptography--but this i sn't history as we know it, for here his code book is called not Mercury bu t Cryptonomicon. And although the key political schemers of Charles II's go vernment still have initials spelling the word CABAL, their names are all d ifferent... While towering geniuses like Newton and Leibniz decode nature itself, bizar re adventures (merely beginning with the Great Plague and Great Fire) happe n to the fictional Royal Society member Daniel Waterhouse, who knows everyo ne but isn't quite bright enough for cutting-edge science. Two generations of Daniel's family appear in Cryptonomicon, as does a descendant of the Sha ftoes who here are soldiers and vagabonds. Other links include the island r ealm of Qwghlm with its impossible language and the mysterious, seemingly a geless alchemist Enoch Root. As the reign of Charles II gives way to that of James II and then William of Orange, Stephenson traces the complex lines of finance and power that form the 17th-century Internet. Gold and sil

STEPHENSON, NEAL Zodiac
Spectra July 1, 1995 0-553-57386-1 / 9780553573862 Paperback Very Good
Believe it or not, some readers find Zodiac even more fun than Neal Stephen son's defining 1990s cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash. Zodiac is set in Boston, and hero Sangamon Taylor (S. T.) ironically describes his hilarious exploit s in the first person. S. T. is a modern superhero, a self-proclaimed Toxic Spiderman. With stealth, spunk, and the backing of GEE (a non-profit envir onmental group) as his weapons, S. T. chases down the bad guys with James B ond-like Zen.
