| While there are some smart things in there - the pseudo parodical style is not really of my taste... this and the sumerian story. | ||||

| I've read 6 Neal Stephenson novels and enjoyed them all immensely, but this is an unmitigated disaster. There are numerous very basic structural problems that render it completely nonsensical. - Characters are literally in two places at once in some scenes: i.e. Hiro rescuing Y.T. in one part of the city, and being in his storage unit logged into the metaverse at the same time. - Other characters have entire arcs set up only to never be paid off: i.e. Y.T.'s relationship with Uncle Enzo. - Plot devices aren't even paid off: i.e. Raven's nuclear bomb. - In the middle of major action sequences there are huge gaps in time: i.e. Hiro finally gets to the raft only to spend weeks (?) floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued? Or he finally makes it onto the raft, and sits down and plays on his computer for hours while guys with guns are hunting him? - Massive character leaps occur "off screen": i.e. Hiro all of a sudden goes from a poor nobody to a rich guy with fancy gadgets literally from one scene to the next. And at the end Hiro talks about all the hangouts and meals he and Y.T. have shared and yet in the book they've only ever even met a couple of times and barely know each other. - There are huge swaths of mostly unimportant dialogue that gets repeated for no reason: pretty much anything to do with the virus. - Strange conversations take place indicating previous interactions that have never happened: the entire motorcycle conversation between Hiro and Raven for example, which comes out of nowhere, makes no sense, and is totally pointless. - The end just happens: not only does the ending fail to payoff almost every major and minor character arc, but the finale involves characters that are so secondary to the plot that you couldn't care less about them. They're essentially movie extras, and the main cast isn't even in the vicinity. It would be like if at the end of Star Wars instead of Luke flying down the Death Star trench with Darth Vader behind him, it was Wedge followed by Grand Moff Tarkin. Think about how crazy that is. And these are just structural problems. I'm not even taking into account how many grains of salt you would have to take in order to get past the whole ancient Sumerian verbal virus in the first place, or other outlandish jibberish. The number of positive reviews for this are shocking, but even more unbelievable is so few people mentioning these MAJOR plot and character issues. I can get past, and even enjoy, the intentionally cartoonish style. I can get past the intentionally racist stereotypes. I can even get past the absurd sexualization of the 15 year-old and her "sexy" rape scene. I cannot, however, get past the fact that the very basic framework of the book doesn't even make sense. | ||||

| Finally had to order it for my kindle because when I loan out the softcover, I never get it back! Neal Stephenson's near future story is highly entertaining. He is able to extrapolate a lot of today's trends to a horrifying future while connecting it in an unique way to babylonian history. | ||||

| This book smacks of a Gibson style world but has it's own interesting twist of and alternate future. It's a good read. | ||||

| Extremely well-written and interesting. Part thriller and mostly meditation on many interesting topics, including an anarcho-capitalist near future and the melding of software and hardware (or wetware, meaning the human brain). Not as tightly packaged as Diamond Age (a similar, but more advanced futuristically, setting), and less philosophical, nonetheless it is a great read. Stephenson is one of the best authors out there. Near futuristic sci-fi with good character development and big themes. In terms of "anarcho-capitalism", imagine a world where the government had rendered itself to near irrelevance through excessive secrecy and bureaucracy and hyperinflated fiat currency, and how a libertarian, market-seeking society would respond. What NS presents is not necessarily dis- or u- topic, it just is and he shows how ever-creative humans adapt (while also telling an interesting story along the way). And this is not even to mention the more significant elements of this book, such as the thinning of the line between virtual reality (meta-verse) and physical reality. I am astounded at how much NS packs into his works. If you like to think you will love to read this. Because this will keep you thinking for a long time. One entertaining thing about reading near-future sci fi 20 years later is to see how far the world has evolved toward this vision. And so it has! A good sign of a perceptive writer. | ||||

| The cyberpunk is well done, but the dialogue and descriptive prose already show a little age. I loved the "Dan Brown for hackers" thing. If you're a fan of the genre this is a must read. For others, check it out if you're into fast-paced action with an unfamiliar setting. | ||||

| If it weren't for HHGTTG this would be my definitive favorite book of all time. Where that was more philosophical comedy set in space, this is hardcore SciFi to the max. When comparing the Metaverse to the internet we use everyday do keep in mind the copyright. While many of the things depicted in the story still seem a bit over the horizon, though plausible, they were truly far out at the time it debuted. A tight knit world woven of many colorful technological might-well-be's. Though don't come looking for much individual character development, the main character's name is Hiro Protagonist, 'nuff said. The only book to so thoroughly mesmerize my imagination since is a newer work by the author: Anathem. That is an epic feat of world building fascinating in it's vastness as much as it's construction. This is an elegant tapestry of ideas. | ||||

| I own several copies of this books, the unabridged audio tapes and it was completely worth it to upgrade my yearly re-listen by buying the CDs. Audio quality was just fine -- I listened in my car. | ||||

| Holy moly!!! The last "thick novels" I read were Hitchhiker's Guide and Dirk Gently books from the late, great Douglas Adams (in the mid- to late '80s), but when a friend recommended Snow Crash and I started reading it on a recent road trip, I was blown away by: a) Stephenson's sense of humor and wordplay (who could resist a main character named Hiro Protagonist?), b) the fun of keeping in mind that the book was published in 1992 -- BEFORE the advent of the World Wide Web (which hit as I went off to get a bachelor's in Mathematical and Computer Sciences at the Colorado School of Mines), c) just how entertaining Stephenson's unlikely, near-future, cautionary dystopian tale can be! Also, being a Reconciling (progressive) United Methodist who recently read Rev. Adam Hamilton's wonderful Making Sense of the Bible: Rediscovering the Power of Scripture Today , I really connected with Stephenson's Biblical references and his fascinating foray into Sumerian mythology, etc. I'm actually only about ⅔ of the way through Snow Crash, but I'm sure I'll love finishing it! (Sheesh, Amazon -- I'm not THAT fast a reader! ;-D) If you don't mind the foul language, etc. (a faithful movie would definitely be rated R) and you're at least a little nerdy, this is a book for you! | ||||

| He's no William Gibson, but am getting into it. Feels like he tries a bit too hard. Love reading SciFi on my Kindle though. That feels right. Information immediately accessible. Superb. | ||||
