It is one of "the 20 best spy novels of all time" by The Daily Telegraph in 2017.[1] Plot summaryDecoded tells the story of Rong Jinzhen, an orphaned genius. Rong is adopted by distant relatives who study mathematics at an unnamed Chinese university, and is soon recognized for his mathematical prowess. Rong comes under the wing of a visiting Polish professor named Liseiwicz, who recognizes Rong's brilliance and urges him to study artificial intelligence. After Liseiwicz leaves China, Rong is approached by a government agent looking for the brightest students to bring into Unit 701, a government agency devoted to cryptography. At Unit 701, Rong cracks the nefarious Purple cipher, and soon becomes obsessed with cracking the Black cipher. After his notebook is stolen, however, Rong suffers a nervous breakdown from which he never recovers. ReceptionThe New York Times described Decoded as "a page turner" with "a gripping plot, otherworldy aura, and flamboyant detail".[2]The Guardian wrote that Decoded is "deft in its exploration of the world of mathematics and of cryptography".[3]References1. ^{{cite web|website=The Telegraph|title=The 20 best spy novels of all time|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/the-best-spy-novels-of-all-time/decoded-by-mai-jia-2002/|publisher=The Telegraph|date=January 6, 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|website=The New York Times |title=Spy Anxiety|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/04/books/review/decoded-by-mai-jia.html?_r=1|publisher=The New York Times |date=May 2, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|website=The Guardian |title=Decoded by Mai Jia review – 'An intriguing Chinese thriller' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/apr/05/decoded-by-mai-jia-review|publisher=The Guardian |date=April 5, 2014}} External links
