Published in 1995, predicted this exact thing, to be used in dynamic books.



Did the same thing with his other book Snow Crash, which predicted IP addressing and the internet as we know it.

it's one thing to predict it, it's another to actually do it. nonetheless, pretty interesting. a friend of mine recommended Cryptonomicon. have you had a chance to read it? if so, what did you think?

Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, and Diamond Age are all amazing books.

Cryptonomicon is, however, a pretty hefty read.
