Secret ciphers. Hidden treasure. Enigma breakers. Mysterious manuscripts. And … hog Latin. Cryptology expert and author of “The Code Book,” Simon Singh finally lets me ask him about the small mistakes that lost huge battles, the prison plots of Mary Queen of Scots, a cryptology reality show that I wish existed, the legacy of Alan Turing, Indigenous code-talking war heroes, hiding messages in your skin and guts, the role of A.I. in future deciphering and the possibility of a quantum computing apocalypse. Also: one whole ball of wax that you do not want to get into. Visit Dr. Singh’s <a href="https://simonsingh.net/">website</a> and follow him on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/simonsinghnerd.bsky.social">Bluesky</a> and <a href="https://x.com/SLSingh">X</a>Browse Dr. Singh’s <a href="https://simonsingh.net/books/">books</a> including The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography, available on <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-code-book-the-science-of-secrecy-from-ancient-egypt-to-quantum-cryptography-simon-singh/8657127">Bookshop.org</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Code-Book-Science-Secrecy-Cryptography/dp/0385495323">Amazon</a>A donation went to <a href="https://www.givewell.org/">GiveWell</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/cryptology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/egyptology">Egyptology (ANCIENT EGYPT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/momiology">Momiology (MUMMIFICATION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/curiology">Curiology (EMOJI)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/graphology">Graphology (HANDWRITING/FORGERY)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/anagnosology">Anagnosology (READING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oneirology">Oneirology (DREAMS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/salugenology">Salugenology (WHY HUMANS REQUIRE HOBBIES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/architecturaltechnology">Architectural Technology (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/neurotechnology">Neurotechnology (AI + BRAIN TECH)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/artificialintelligenceethicology">Artificial Intelligence Ethicology (WILL A.I.
