Cryptonomicon. It’s not really a short book, but it’s easily digestible as it has clear divisions where it is suitable to take a break.

The way the WW2 plot and the 90’s-plot intertwine is so much fun to read, especially since the 90’s characters are descendants of the ww2 characters.

And of course GEB Kavistik would grow up to be a pretentious cunt…

I for one really appreciate the effort of supporting non-AT drives despite the initial skepticism.
