| Great book, I never read it because I thought it would be "dated". Not really the case, still relevant tech. Excellent characters and story. | ||||

| Still one of my all time favorite novels. Written in a time before GPUs and Xbox and PS VR, it’s amazing how many of Mr. Stephenson’s ideas have become tropes within the development of the VR environments. This work has inspired so many other writers and movie makers, and you can almost always find a little nod to Snow Crash in every influenced story, movie, or game. | ||||

| 2.7/5 I've been wanting to read this one for a long time due to all the hype surrounding it, but after finishing just half of it I couldn't see what all the fuss was about. It starts out fine, and builds this great cyberpunk/LitRPG environment, and made pizza deliverers seem like the coolest people in the world. I was into it, and was enjoying all the descriptions and car chases and character introductions (Y.T. is probably the best). But once I hit the halfway point everything just stalled. The cyberpunk feel and atmosphere was gone, and it turned into just walls and walls of textbook-like information about history and religion (literally a quarter of the book is this). For the rest of the book it just got slower and less interesting for me. The main character, Hiro, even got less enjoyable, to the point where I didn't even want to read his chapters anymore. But the female protagonist, Y.T., continued to be pretty cool. There were some cool and unique characters, and moments, but just nothing that could save this book for me. | ||||

| I read Snow Crash mainly because of the comparisons to Ready Player One. But other than a young protagonist and the metaverse/oasis, they are very different novels. I did not enjoy Snow Crash nearly as much. It is not as much fun as RP1, and is too cynical for my tastes. There is also a LOT of content about ancient religions, and a strained attempt to compare religion to a virus, both of which I found largely unnecessary and a drag on the story telling. Its like Stephenson figured, I did all this research into religion and mysticism, so I am going to impress you by putting EVERYTHING I learned in my new book. Not that Snow Crash is bad. It is inventive. There is some good, smart writing. As a programmer, Stevenson's descriptions of computing systems ring true. If you are interested in cyberpunk and ancient Sumaria, and don't mind the bleak outlook, then you will probably enjoy it. | ||||

| Another great read from Neal Stephenson where the dualistic action takes place in the Metaverse and in a dystopian reality driven by the ancient programming of the human BIOS. Also there is the humor of such great silly lines as "the galley so low"! A fun read! | ||||

| I found it incredibly hard to read. It was more like stream of consciousness than a real novel, and it was very uneven. The characters were not fleshed out, nor were they very likeable. If there is a sequel I will not bother reading it. | ||||

| The writing is quite good and kept me reading. The problem is that the absurdist elements never really created a consistent critique that I would expect from satire and undermined the book if intended as serious speculative fiction. The ending was also unsatisfying for me. It felt like it ended the way it did simply because the author didn't feel like writing anymore rather than actually bringing the book to a conclusion. There was no payoff and, ultimately, it made the book feel unplanned and unstructured. It's really a shame because there are some compelling ideas throughout the book but I will remember this book as a disappointment rather than for cool concepts like lingual hacking and the rise of consciousness. | ||||

| America in the not-so-far future (?), where everything is privatized and franchised by big and small corporations/fiefedoms (including the Mafia). Hiro Protagonist, master hacker/programmer, world best Katana Artist, ex-pizza Deliverator-lives alternately in "real" and in Metaverse where his avatar meets the other avatars. His main source of income - selling info to CIC (the corporate heir to CIA). He encounters YT, a fifteen-year-old Kourier, riding the latest RadiKS Mark IV Smarwheels board. YT is street smart to the nth degree and possibly knows more about the world than her fortyish mom, who works for the security-obsessed Feds (who work dilligently doing probably nothing at all). Hiro and YT weave in-and-out between real and Metaverse facing challenges and unspeakable dangers. But they meet their match and possibly their doom at the hands of Raven, a collosal Aleut who wields glass-tipped harpoons and a smallish H-bomb designed to take revenge on America. While Hiro attempts to avoid his bane, YT and Raven fall for each other creating a major maelstorm of passion. Raven is in cahoots with a quadrillionaire, who attempts to take over the entire planet by accessing the lowest-level language that disappeared with the disappearance of Sumer and the beginning of the diversification of languages (i.e. the fall of ther Tower of Babel). The writing is good, fast, furious, and often funny. An avalanche of information about programming, gaming, computers, genetics, biology, sociology, history, linguistics, etc etc is woven into the narrative where everything is a spoof, a social criticism, a tongue-in-cheek comment on the way this world goes. However, and this is a big however, the author fails to explain how the web still exists, how the technology advances by leaps-and-bounds, and how things still function (mostly) in his mega-fragmented universe. Besides, he often succumbs to an overwhelming urge to catechise and explain everything. The blatant case is Hiro's monolog where he explains the world of computers, linguistics, and ancient history to several people, including Uncle Enzo. Despite Uncle Enzo's main occupation of running Mafia International, he glibly swalows all this information at the most arcane level. Not everything has to make sense, but the obvious pitfalls loose the book its fifth star, at least for this reader. | ||||

| Many novels that deal with technology make the mistake of bragging about specs for a setup - like how many megabytes or MegaHertz something is. This book is very savvy in that it does not do that. As such, it ages well today and doesn't feel like some outdated relic. The story starts a bit slow. I wasn't a big fan of the first ~20 pages - many authors seem to put too much effort into describing every minute detail of a new story (not unique to this author)... again just my opinion and it makes it a chore reading the book. But after that, the story moves along at a good pace throughout and it was a very good read. | ||||

| I reread this book recently, and was surprised that a 25 year old book could hold up so well. Speculative fiction can often be overtaken by reality, but there were few examples of that in Snow Crash. The book offers a lot for a reader who wants some real substance in fiction. The backstory of the "Snow Crash" virus (about 2/3 the way through the book) was perhaps the longest pure exposition section I've ever seen in a work of fiction, yet I was riveted by it. Neal Stephenson is perhaps the smartest person writing fiction today, and it shows in the way he can research a topic, comprehend it deeply, and then render an entertaining explanation in the context of a story. It takes amazing chutzpah to name your main charcter "Hiro Protagonist", but Stephenson pulls off what others probably couldn't, and Hiro is indeed an excellent protagonist. A man of multiple and amazing talents, nevertheless the book opens with him delivering pizzas. Early on, Hiro seems to just blunder into key events, but eventually he rises to be more pro-active and becomes a true hero. The dystopian society is at times all too plausible. It seems Stephenson saw in advance the breakdown of our institutions in the 21st century. (That also helped him generate a completely different dystopia in The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (Bantam Spectra Book) , which you should definitely read if you like Snow Crash.) If Stephenson has one flaw as a writer, it's that most of his books have abrupt endings. This one leaves a few loose ends. Without spoiling things too much, I'll mention one example. A main character possesses a nuclear warhead and rigs it to protect himself from attack, yet we never see that resolved in the ending. It's not clear for a couple of the main characters whether they even survive or not. So I wish his books has at least a minimal denouement. But I'll take that flaw for some of the most entertaining and though-provoking books I've ever read. | ||||

| Read this book 20 years ago or so. Glad it was rereleased in Kindle format. I read ebooks’ exclusively. I have a 64 GB iPhone I read my kindle and ePub books on. My iPhone has over 1000 books on that iPhone. | ||||

| Really, really, fun read. You can clearly see this was one of the inspirations for Ready Player One as a book/movie. | ||||

| That is how I describe fiction with tons of narrative and very little dialog. About 1\2 way through the book I started to feel as I did when reading Stranger in a Strange Land. Just another author using his characters and the world he created to espouse his views. Now I'm not so sure. The book did pick up the latter third and I almost started to care about the characters. Almost. Ultimately I adopted Y.T.s flippant attitude towards them. | ||||
