Dalla quarta di copertina

From intrigue and warfare to genetics and the Internet - the secret science of codes revealed.

Did you know that Mary Queen of Scots was betrayed by a coded message? Or that there exists a code so complex that no one has yet been able to decipher it?

Take trip through time and see how the secret history of codes and ciphers has changed the world; glimpse a future where quantum physics could alter the science of secret communications for ever.

This book tells you all you need to know about puzzles, codes, riddles and ciphers; secret languages and the art of deception.

Oh, yes, and that undecipherable code? If you can crack it, you could win a treasure worth millions of pounds.

'Singh's power of explaining complex ideas is as dazzling as ever' Guardian
