| It stays with you after you're done. The way he writes is mesmerising. Absolutely brilliant, but you'll enjoy it only if you're a sci fi fan. I recommend it. Will try his other books. | ||||

| Fun to read, writen several years before Real Player One. Snow Crash covers a lot of interesting thoughts on a possible future if we continue to allow corporattons to controls the world. | ||||

| Neal had some incredible insights into the future when he wrote this. As usual, a very detailed, character driven, tech novel as only he can produce (maybe W. Gibson). Another must read! | ||||

| Hugely entertaining and block-buster imaginative. Lots of visual filmic sequences like it was written for the big screen behind the eyes. Soon to be adapted for Amazon Prime by Joe Cornish of Attack the Block fame apparently. | ||||

| This earned a solid 4 stars. I would probably rate the story at 3 stars but the world it was set in was so original and entertaining that I have to bump it to 4. I would recommend this one to readers with an open mind looking for a fun read. | ||||

| The Bad: Tonal shifts. “Snow Crash” starts with some legendary levels of satire, but the consistency for said tone drops off after 50 or 60 pages. The satire remains, but the more the novel progresses, the more an afterthought that satire seems. In the middle of the book, the tone becomes one of ‘discovery/revelation’ that persists until the end… at which point the tone graduates to ‘let’s get this over.’ The shifts are never quite abrupt, but are somewhat stark. Changing voice. “Snow Crash” never quite feels like it’s written by three different people, but the beginning, middle and end all feel radically different from one another. Some difference is to be expected as a story nearly 500 pages in the telling is unraveled… but there’s a difference between progression of events having a subtle impact on how the story is told and the feeling that the author is changing how they’re drafting the story in their own mind. Wandering plot. Why did Hiro need to go to Oregon to learn that thing about Raven? The Raft was cool, but did it need to occupy so much time or focus for the reader to grasp its significance or otherwise appreciate the information Stephenson was offering? There are a couple of other plot points that beg the question ‘why that’ or ‘why present it this way,’ but the goal is to remain as spoiler-free as possible, so those points will remain unmentioned. There is a fair amount of wandering/meandering in the storytelling that’s hit or miss; for every enjoyable moment of superfluous world building or character development, there is a head-scratching moment to offset it. The Good: The Deliverator (the first ~50 pages, really). Y.T. The ideas behind Babel, protolanguage and religion, in general. The Takeaway: Entertaining if a bit dated (as far as many of the technical predictions or conventions are concerned). “Snow Crash” was no doubt a hell of a read when it was released: immensely entertaining; rife with observations and commentary regarding the era in which it was written (much of which is still shockingly relevant); offering statements about how we got to where we are; great observations about people, their hopes, dreams and motivations. Recommended for: fans of cyberpunk; those interested in a topical examination of neurolinguistics; people looking for a wild, trippy ride that will trigger some fierce 90s nostalgia. Anyone that enjoyed “Neuromancer” or “Lexicon” may want to give “Snow Crash” a shot. “It was, of course, nothing more than sexism, the especially virulent type espoused by male techies who sincerely believe that they are too smart to be sexists.” “Software development, like professional sports, has a way of making thirty-year old men feel decrepit.” “To condense fact from the vapor of nuance.” “The Deliverator lets out an involuntary roar and puts the hammer down. His emotions tell him to go back and kill that manager, get his swords out of the trunk, dive in through the little sliding window like a ninja, track him down through the moiling chaos of the microwaved franchise and confront him in a climactic thick-crust apocalypse. But he thinks the same thing when someone cuts him off on the freeway, and he’s never done it-yet.” “They do a lot of talking about Jesus, but like many self-described Christian churches, it has nothing to do with Christianity except that they use his name. It’s a postrational religion.” | ||||

| I recall reading this story back in the late 90's thinking how cool and freaky-futuristic it was ... I re-bought it recently and re-read it and ... wow, the tech in this story has not aged well at all. The biggest problem I have is with timelines ... without ever giving us any explicit dates for the storyline, it's relatively easy to extrapolate once you put the clues together ... the main character is approximately 30 years old (he tells us), there are constant references to his father being in WW2, and by reference to a peer-age character, we can determine he was born in the 1970's ... so the events of this story take place somewhere between the late 90's and the early 2000's. America has deconstructed itself, become a hodgepodge of mini city-states that are actually business franchises, each franchise being a wholly independent and sovereign nation yet non physically contiguous. How a massive nation-state republic could devolve in such a manner is not hard to imagine what with the populist Republican mantra being that only business is good and government is bad, but the speed at which such dis-integration of the nation could occur ... it would take decades for government to unwind, not the paltry 5 to 10 years between when Stephenson wrote the story and the presumed timeline in the story. Some of the tech he imagined in this story is nearly prophetic ... his descriptions of virtual reality are almost dead on with what is currently state of the art today, however much of the tech available in his 'real world' is sadly too futuristic to fit. Supersonic cyborg dogs; armorgel uniforms that are bulletproof, fit like spandex, and have self contained defensive weaponry; 'smart' skateboards with radar/lidar and wheels that change shape and size every millisecond in order to keep the ride smooth even over broken concrete/bodies/other rough terrain; other stuff that is mildly interesting and often unrealistic. We certainly don't have that tech today, let alone 15 or so years ago when this story seems to have taken place. His story goes off the deep end with the main thrust being neuro-linguistic hacking based on ancient Sumerian mythology. I'm sure Stephenson researched a lot of actual info on Sumer, but the way he puts the pieces together is entirely his own creation. And after all is said and done, it basically fails the logic test. Near the end of the story, the main character (I'm trying to avoid saying "protagonist" ... because the character's name in the story is actually "Protagonist" ... Hiro Protagonist ... arg! funny, but still ... ) puts the whole concept together in one big expository scene and while all the little nubs we saw throughout the course of the story could have been reasonably accepted (suspension of disbelief) once the whole concept was explained is was blindingly obvious to me how unrealistic and irrational the idea was. It utterly and completely failed the logic test. Oh well. This is one of Stephensons earliest novels, and his biggest reach into cyberpunk genre that I'm aware of (his other novels having some cyberpunk attitude are mostly hard historical fiction/hard sci-fi) so I won't totally dismiss this story. It's a fun read, has some interesting and entertaining characters, and lots of cool action scenes, so if you can ignore the timeline issue and get past some of the illogic, you should be able to enjoy this book. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. | ||||

| There are parts of this book that are brilliant-funny-imaginative-thought provoking. There are parts that get a little bogged down/boring when he gets into the religious and psychological stuff. But the good parts are definitely worth reading the book for. | ||||

| Snowcrash is a classic choice full of energy. As a fan of Ready Player One, I enjoyed this earlier look at virtual reality and digital forecasting of the future. | ||||

| It's a slog to get to the end, not sure I will bother. Which will make it the first book in 15 years I don't finish. So disappointing. | ||||

| The first half of this book is an amazing mess. Ideas come at you at blinding speed; with no apparent connections. Somehow it all starts to come together in the second half of the book and all of the randomness ties together in a nice neat mindbending conclusion. From ancient Sumaria through the Tower of Babel - history sets the stage for a look at the future of franchising hell. And somehow through it all, man's best friend makes a difference! | ||||

| This book came highly recommended by someone who purchases every copy they can find just to hand out to people. I can see why. It's very entertaining and well-written. I wish it was a series so I could read more of it. | ||||

| I was looking forward to reading this book when I first got it, but it ended up being a bit disappointing. Felt as though the characters were not very fleshed out and the plot was a little messy until everything came together in the end. Giving 3 stars for the world building, the character YT, and for the action scenes, which were engaging and well written. | ||||
