Hey everyone I've just finished reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and I can honestly say this is perhaps one of the best books I have read in a while. Here is the synopsis of the book:
When the NSA's invincible code-breaking machine encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage--not by guns or bombs -- but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence. Caught in an accelerating tempest of secrecy and lies, Fletcher battles to save the agency she believes in. Betrayed on all sides, she finds herself fighting not only for her country but for her life, and in the end, for the life of the man she loves.
Any readers here that have read it? If not I highly recommend it for anyone that is into cryptography in a fictional sense and a bit of conspiracy.
Happy reading everyone!
