"Crypto" Book

A couple of days ago, I started reading the book "Crypto" by Steven Levy. Natalie has owned the book for several years, so it was a spontaneous decision on my part to pick the book up and begin reading. I read Levy's book "Hackers" in 1996, and it had a profound effect on my understanding of computing history and culture. "Crypto" seems to be written in a similar fashion as "Hackers". So far, it has covered the history of modern public key cryptography through the eyes of its creators: Diffie, Helman, etc. I love reading narratives, particularly when they involve computing :)
