Published in 1999, ''Cryptonomicon'' is a 1,000+ page SciFi/Historical novel following three independent yet interrelated story arcs, two of which are set during the UsefulNotes/SecondWorldWar and the third during the first years of the twenty-first century. Although it deals with some pretty deep, philosophical themes, the novel itself never comes off as dry or preachy, largely due to Stephenson's [[LemonyNarrator unique style of narration]]. Equal parts profound and profane, ''Cryptonomicon'' tells the story of multiple generations within the Waterhouse and Shaftoe families, as well as their attempts to unravel the secrets of a vast conspiracy affecting history and society.
