We are used to speaking about how George Orwell`s "1984" or "A brave new world", by Huxley described our actual society almost a century ago. And, of course, they did.
Besides, there are other several books describing how the future may look, as "Farenheit 451", by Bradbury (I think the massive books cremation is not happening-yet).

Last week a friend told me about a book he has read and, even when he`s not into crypto, as well as he was describing the book, I thought more and more about it. "Wow, it seems so similar to the cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology!!!" -my thoughts were.

So I went and look for the book: "Cryptonomicon", by Neal Stephenson, published in 2002.
I downloaded the book from this source: http://oceanofpdf.com/pdf-epub-cryptonomicon-download/

From what I`ve read so long, this is awesome.
I will edit the topic when I finish it if you like, but, for the moment, a recommended novel to read in holidays.

Have you read the book? What are your impressions about it?
How other novelist do you feel that described the crypto world before even happening?

Also check out 'Soilent Green'. However, I only saw the movie but it was great. Also see the movie 'Logan's Run'. 

hmm this seems really interesting, I'm writing to make sure I can find my way back to this thread at some point  ;D

Jjajaaja... You also can add the thread to your watchlist!!

Neal Stephenson is also well known for the cyberpunk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk) novel Snow Crash (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Crash).

Thanks!!!! I will look at it! recently I was laking of some good readings, so this is nice to hear about some.
Anyway, my interest right now is about novels that predicted the future, crypto, if possible. I think this requires a nice comparative analysis with "reality", so any recommendation is more than welcomed!

Thanks to all
