minus-square@Jables@iusearchlinux.fyilinkfedilink3•9 months agoSomeone just listened to Supernova in the East lol.
minus-squarePons_Aeliuslinkfedilink3•9 months agoWhile Dan is great…it is possible to know history without him.
minus-squarePons_Aeliuslinkfedilink2•9 months agoWhat if I told you it is possible to actually read the books that Dan used as source material to create his podcasts…
minus-square@blackluster117linkfedilink2•9 months agoActually have been reading this fantastic book called Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. MacArthur has an excellent set of cameos.
minus-squarePons_Aeliuslinkfedilink2•edit-29 months agoWhile I like Neal Stephenson (favourite being Diamond Age) I haven’t read Cryptonomicon. His novels do contain riffs on history and persons from the past I wouldn’t rely on his works for solid historical knowledge.
minus-square@blackluster117linkfedilink2•9 months agoOf course, but the entertainment value is unparalleled. You’ll see if you ever get around to reading the book, which again, I highly recommend.
