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. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
