Besprekingen

Cryptonomicon door Neal Stephenson

Het boek is erg lijvig, 1085 pagina´s. Dat trok me aan toen ik het aankocht. Op een of andere manier grijp ik steeds naar de dikke pillen. Ook het onderwerp sprak me meteen aan, maar toch heb ik het boek nooit uitgelezen. Slechter nog, ik raakte slechts tot pagina 205 (het touwtje steekt er nog tussen).
In het boek komen erg veel wiskundige uiteenzettingen voor en daar knapte ik een beetje op af vrees ik. Toch heb ik het boek nooit weggedaan, ondanks het vele verhuizen. Dat betekent dat ik het vroeg of laat weer ter hand ga nemen, want het onderwerp blijft me mateloos boeien...
Om in één spannend verhaal de menselijke psyche, wiskunde, culturele tradities en high -tech computeruiteenzettingen te verweven moet je een groot schrijver zijn.
Het ontbreekt me alleen aan doorzettingsvermogen om me er doorheen te worstelen.… (meer)
