Cryptonomicon weaves together multiple narratives spanning different time periods. The book follows the complex stories of the Waterhouse family and their involvement in World War II codebreaking and present-day software development, and the Shaftoe family, whose members include a World War II Marine and a present-day treasure hunter. Interlacing mathematics, cryptography, philosophy, and technology, Stephenson crafts a complex and engaging tale.

Look for the 'First Edition' statement and the number line with '1' on the copyright page, an indication of a first print by Avon Books.
