Agrippa has been cracked; website preserved in Bodleian Library

DateSunday, July 29, 2012 at 12:21PM

Cracking the Agrippa Code websiteThe mystery behind William Gibson’s electronic poem Agrippa is no more. The contest was a smash success and five seperate contestants managed to crack the crytography, and many other interesting things too (see my Technical Description for more information).

The website has been selected by the Bodleian Library as being “of lasting research value and worthy of permanent preservation” and will be entering the archives soon.
