Description
Rong Jinzhen, an autistic math genius with a past shrouded in mystery, is recruited into Unit 701: a top-secret Chinese intelligence agency. As China's greatest cryptographer, he discovers the mastermind behind the Purple Code - his former teacher and best friend, now working for a rival nation. This betrayal is just the beginning of a complex web of deception. As Rong delves deeper into the code-breaking world, he uncovers a tale of obsession and a profound exploration of the human mind. Cryptography becomes the key to understanding not only codes, but also the heart of those who create them. A riveting story unfolds, full of twists and turns that will keep you engaged until the very end. First published in English by one of China's greatest contemporary writers, Decoded is a gripping novel that explores the intersection of technology, loyalty, and the human condition.
