But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.

We all rely on technology to communicate, to survive, to do our banking, to shop, to get informed, but none of us knows how to read and write the code.
I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar's time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is encoded.
The word 'code' turns out to be a really important word for my book, 'The Information.' The genetic code is just one example. We talk now about coders, coding. Computer guys are coders. The stuff they write is code.
When you learn to code, it opens up for you to learn many other things.
I never have been a coder, outside of when I was twelve or something, like on the Atari 1200 XP or whatever I had.
Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.
You can't have life without the genetic code.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.
The ancient codes were doubtless originally suggested by the discovery and diffusion of the art of writing.
