Da Vinci code was my first Dan Brown book too. THEN I read Angels and Demons and that one about the supercomputer that gathers data--oh yeah: digital fortress. ALL of his books are meticulously researched, so I expect this new one (which takes place in Langley, VA, I believe) to be a continuation of his compelling writing style.

While I was at his site, I played around a bit and cracked one of the online codes and was introduced to something some of you may know about, the statue at the CIA headquarters "Kryptos" that is still unsolved (3 out of 4 sections are solved but the last bit, 98 characters long is NOT) I find all of that secret society, cryptology, clandestine operations stuff fascinating !!

Plus, while I was researching source material for another book Im reading (What Every American needs to know about Who's really running the World)
I learned about ECHELON, a data gathering supercomputer network between the US and the UK (including Australia and New Zealand) that agrees to share info gleaned about the other party....pretty interesting stuff....there really is no personal privacy any more...
