The code book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography

by Simon Singh

An overview of cryptography from ancient times with the use of the Caesar cipher to more recent cryptographic developments up to the year 2000. Heard a lot of good things about this book, looking forward to starting it. A lot happened after the year 2000 in the crypto world, but this is a good introduction before diving deeper later on.
