They want to keep their actions secret, but their grand designs have to be public so they can amaze the universe. For as long as there has been language, there has been the need to keep information from prying eyes. In this fascinating compendium, puzzlemaster Pierre Berloquin explores the evolution of cipher and aesthetic codes in art, math, and cryptology~from the battlefronts of ancient Greece to the frontiers of cyberspace. Part history, part hands~on puzzle book, this remarkable chronicle spans more than two millennia of creations and covert communications, highlighting the systems, events, personalities, and technical advances that have marked its growth: the torch towers of Polybius; the hilltop semaphore networks of the Chappe brothers; the cipher systems used by Caesar, Napoleon, and other military leaders; the remarkable heritage of Pythagoras, whose insights are thought to have influenced the works of Vitruvius, Fibonacci, Georg Cantor, Kurt Godel, Piet Mondrian, Le Corbusier, and Benoit Mandlebrot, among others; the customs and contributions of the Knights Templar, Pythagorean Christian warriors who used aesthetic codes and logic systems to fulfill their sacred oaths; the mystery~shrouded traditions of the Freemasons, who manifest their symbolic language in the layout and stonework of Washington, D. C.; the evolution of homophonic ciphers from Simeone de Crema to Blaise de Vigenere; the emergence of active code via the work of Alan Turing, the father of modern computer science, and Alfred Scherbius, inventor of the Enigma machine; our migration to "Code Land," where "every object, living creature, human being and shred of imagina'tion is digitized or potentially could be"; and more. Fully illustrated with more than ninety puzzles and solutions as well as a gallery of cipher alphabets, Hidden Codes & Grand Designs is an insightful look at the remarkable ingenuity of codemakers and codebreakers throughout history, and an invitation to challenge our own minds with their legacies.…
