Additional Snow Crash Information

From the opening line of his breakthrough cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson plunges the reader into a not-too-distant future. It is a world where the Mafia controls pizza delivery, the United States exists as a patchwork of corporate-franchise city-states, and the Internet--incarnate as the Metaverse--looks something like last year's hype would lead you to believe it should. Enter Hiro Protagonist--hacker, samurai swordsman, and pizza-delivery driver. When his best friend fries his brain on a new designer drug called Snow Crash and his beautiful, brainy ex-girlfriend asks for his help, what's a guy with a name like that to do? He rushes to the rescue. A breakneck-paced 21st-century novel, Snow Crash interweaves everything from Sumerian myth to visions of a postmodern civilization on the brink of collapse. Faster than the speed of television and a whole lot more fun, Snow Crash is the portrayal of a future that is bizarre enough to be plausible.

 

What Customers Say About Snow Crash:

Would recommend to other geeks looking for a fun read. Loved the story and all the geek that is involved. Didn't care so much for all of the language though.

Great read and well worth the time as long as you are into technology and interested in what the future may hold. Not his best book but definitely worth it. I would recommend this to anyone who is into cyber punk books, the internet, or pizza.

For some reason I found the style of writing extremely irritating. There are a lot of well written reviews for this book, and I'm not going to attempt a thorough review. After a while I got so annoyed with the book I couldn't be bothered finishing it and took it back to the library.Some people might like it, but I found it unreadable. I think the author tries too hard to write in a cool style, but it ends up as a flashy, verbose, cacophony of words totally obscuring anything in the way of character development or plot. That would be unfair as I didn't finish the book. But I just wanted to say that I didn't really like it.

Toads wild ride. EVERYONE wants T R Caspell mr. Think I am going to get out my rebar katana and read it again.

I think this is NS very best. Hero Protagonist, The Deliverator, what a great name. This is the best cyber punk novel ever written.

Pooning sounds like a gas. Todd Royall Caspell RIDE LOTS Tord,Thor,Torka,Todo and sundry (expressed opinions not necessarily of my brain) Todd R Caspell I recommend it and all NS but I suggest you read this one first.

It contains the best virtual sword fight EVER.

Ending was a little abrupt though. Loved the book. It had twists I never saw coming, and I'd never have predicted how it would end.
