内容简介:
In his first book since the bestselling Fermat’s Enigma , Simon Singh offers the first sweeping history of encryption, tracing its evolution and revealing the dramatic effects codes have had on wars, nations, and individual lives. From Mary, Queen of Scots, trapped by her own code, to the Navajo Code Talkers who helped the Allies win World War II, to the incredible (and incredibly simple) logisitical breakthrough that made Internet commerce secure, The Code Book tells the story of the most powerful intellectual weapon ever known: secrecy.
Throughout the text are clear technological and mathematical explanations, and portrayals of the remarkable personalities who wrote and broke the world’s most difficult codes. Accessible, compelling, and remarkably far-reaching, this book will forever alter your view of history, what drives it, and how private that e-mail you just sent really is.
作者简介:

原文摘录:
进行原创性的研究时，要想爬上顶端，就必须当傻瓜，因为只有傻瓜才会持续不断地尝试。你有个1号构想，非常兴奋，结果它行不通。接着你有2号构想，非常兴奋，结果它也行不通。然后你有第99号构想，非常兴奋，结果它还是行不通。只有傻瓜才会为第100号构想兴奋，可是，可能就是要有100个构想，才会有收获。你若不够傻，无法不断为新的构想兴奋，你就不会有动机，不会有精力继续下去。 (查看原文)

1969年法国作家乔治斯·佩雷克写了一本200页的小说《逃亡》，其中没有一个含有字母e的单词。更令人称道的是英国小说和评论家吉尔伯特·阿代尔成功地将《真空》翻译成英文，而其中居然也没有一个字母e。阿代尔将这本译著取名为《真空》，令人惊叹，值得一读。 (查看原文)
