Big thick book, about 9.5 x 6.5". (24 x 16.5 cm) Crypto was nominated for the Hugo and Arthur C. Clark Award and won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. Author of the cult classic science fiction novel "Snow Crash" which influenced the creation of virtual worlds such as Second Life. Fine- in Fine Dust Jacket. A really nice copy save just a hint of shelf wear here and there and a hint of dustiness to the back board, but almost unnoticeable. Jacket is fine! No tears, no chips and NO speckling to the lettering which is often how this book is found. NOTE: Cryptonomicon is about code-breakers during WWII and their descendants in the 1990's. It's probably Stephenson's longest stand-alone novel. His masterpiece is without question "Snow Crash" with an unconventional story-line and is now probably regarded as the best SF book of 1992.
