DIGITAL FORTRESS - BY DAN BROWN, CORGI BOOKS
TIME LINE
60’s was Mechanical Age, we had guns of Navarone, 70’s was space age we had Starwars, 80’s was Regan age we had Living Daylights, 90’s was Microsoft age, we had nerd movies and novels, Millennium and above is PC AGE.
ABOUT
PC has overridden everything, newspapers, television, video, shopping, information, crime, charity, love, romance
Knowledge, jobs, work, pleasure, recreation, glitter, glamour or the drab.
We recharge our mobile by plugging into Ac/Dc source, Novel Writers do by plugging into Hitler and his Gang, Spies Espionage, Make-believe, Space, Crime, Terrorists, Lawyers and some less talented writers plug into ordinary things like LOVE and ROMANCE, I like the most latter kind of writers. I am a less developed reader, I am working towards development so I pickup DAN BROWN - DIGITAL FORTRESS.
CONTENT
I felt reading this novel, I am still sitting on my PC, as always my pc occupies all my 3 senses (Auditory) Feel (Clustery) Heart (Preceptor) I was hooked like a plug to this book, I became oblivious everything around, I lost sense of time, place, I was totally involved, I was only aware of the scrolling of words of this novel on the monitor of my Eyes, unable to abort.
USER
My counsel is Robert Frost, so my plug-in is untrodden paths, movies like police academy inspire me, making of a perfume like leonara by Leonard or Cinema/M7 by Y.S.L. inspire me or a Weaver Bird or a Beehive or a Lion’s mane inspire me.
SOURCE CODE
Dan Brown stitched a quilt of many colors and many fabrics into one novel, I like the harmony of many different subjects forming a whole harmonious novel, I liked the 2 main characters Susan Fletcher and Commander Lev Strathmore, others are fillers and sidekicks, there are other characters in the book David Becker (relative of David Becham) Ensei Tankado, Fontain, Jabba, Hale (healthy fellow) Midge, Brinkoff, Hulohot, there are so many softwares described in the book, like Limbo, Tracers, Gauntlet and the super computer made by National Security Agency which converts encrypted emails or files into CLEARTEXT.
Susan Fletcher
A Beautiful cryptographer working in NSA, she is called on a weekend to the office by her mentor, teacher, head because there is an emergency; Translator is not able to convert a file made by Ensei Tankado.
David Becker
His introduction in the novel is that of the boy friend of head Cryptographer Susan Fletcher he is a professor and a language translator, he is sometimes consulted by NSA on some foreign language jobs, this is how he meets Susan Fletcher, when her boss asks him to go on an errand to Seville (Andalusia) he is a true lover, how can he refuse the boss of his sweetheart.

I even got a recipe of marmalade from this book, in spite of all these topics, this book is light in reading, doesn’t leave an after effect like books of Robert Ludlum, John Grisham or Stephen King.
SCRIPT WRITER
Dan Brown is fond of Gadgets, Computers, History, Travel, Exercise and How and Why of everything man made, man evolved, man created, man related. He is a very fast paced writer; he creates clips of many scenes and welds them all into a whole smoothly, except nature he talks about everything. Dan Brown is not a script following type of person; he writes his own scenario with many brilliant diverse bits and bytes combining them all into a uniform, seamless stream.
THAT I BELIEVE IS GENIUS V.19
