Quicksilver is a historical novel by Neal Stephenson, published in 2003.

The novel Quicksilver is written in various narrative styles, such as theatrical staging and epistolary, and follows a large group of characters.

Quicksilver is a historical fiction novel that occasionally uses fantasy and science fiction techniques.

Mark Sanderson calls the novel an " astonishing achievement ", and compares Quicksilver to " Thomas Pynchon's Mason & Dixon and Lawrence Norfolk's Lempriere's Dictionary.

Originally intended to be included in Cryptonomicon, Stephenson instead used the material as the foundation for Quicksilver, the first volume of the Baroque Cycle.

As he did in Cryptonomicon, Stephenson highlights the importance of networks and codes, which in Quicksilver occur against a " backdrop of staggering diversity and detail ", writes Mark Sanderson in his review of the book for the Daily Telegraph.

Based on the success of Cryptonomicon, a New York Times bestseller with sales of about 300, 000 copies, the initial print-run for Quicksilver was 250, 000 copies.

The company was bought by Broadvision in 2000, which renamed its authoring products " Quicksilver.

One theme Stephenson explores in Quicksilver is the advancement of mathematical sciences which in turn led to important applications: Leibniz's theory of binary mathematic became the foundation upon which to develop computers.

In Quicksilver Stephenson presents the importance of freedom of thought, the diversity required for new ideas to develop, and the manner in which new ideas are expressed.

The book focuses on a period of social and scientific transmutations, expanding upon the symbolism of the book's title, Quicksilver, because it is a period in which the " principles governing transformation " are investigated and established.

Also, the title Quicksilver connects the book to the method alchemists used to distill quicksilver, " the pure living essence of God's power and presence in the world ", from, as one character put it, " the base, dark, cold, essentially fecal matter of which the world was made.
