Superb. Wikipedia meets Neuromancer in a frenzy of tonal mish mash & questionable interpretations of the age of consent. Ambitious & largely on the money with future tech predictions. Recommended. | ||||

The first half of this book was a bit slow and some parts seemed to go long on character development and plot setup, but it was worth sticking with it. The second half of the book picked up pace and was interesting with vivid imagery. | ||||

Being 23 years of age I'm presumably a few years older than the target group for this book. It's a bit too fast-forward and rough around the edges for me. The book contains a light story made complex primarily by the authors style. The historcal, religious and sociological background give it some depth though, making it worth the read for me despite several weak points. | ||||

Incredible story. In the real world or the Metaverse...keep it straight as they interact. High speed fun. | ||||

... more accurate and prophetic than Sci-fi written 20 years later. Should make an excellent film. | ||||

I love the imagination, the light hearted atmosphere, and the endless procession of fun situations and concepts. It's delightfully rich and realized. However, the pseudo-science philosophical mysticism that makes up a chunk of the middle of the book is unbearable, and the endless "binary code hurr durr" stuff is pure face palm, at least in 2016. Still, the good parts (which is most of the book) as so good that it's still an incredibly enjoyable read. | ||||

A pessimistic view of the future where people split time between a VR metaverse and a world where corporations and other organizations have formed their own independent mini-nations. The protagonist spends time in both worlds on an adventure that involves pizza delivery, couriers, hacking, Sumerian culture, ww2 history, and more. | ||||

Great story that went into the weeds a bit from time to time. Still enjoyed it thoroughly though. | ||||

This was my first Neal Stephenson book. I picked it up after hearing about it on the Tim Ferriss podcast. It was a good read overall, but the dialogue was a little sophomoric. I think the virtual reality, cyberpunk, and dystopian corporate future themes were well thought out, but the interpretation of Babel and the separation of languages was a little too out there for me. If you are looking for a Neal Stephenson book to read, I recommend you skip this and go straight to Seveneves unless you are really into cyberpunk and virtual reality. | ||||

My own brief studies of ancient near eastern languages made me hesitant to pick this book up. Would it be a mockery of scholastic critical thinking, or even worse an ignorant and crude attempt to portray it? It is neither. Stephenson hits the nail right on the head with so many subjects it's astonishing. All that and still one laugh out loud sentence per chapter. Fantastic read. | ||||

Dystopic but fun to imagine. And with enough action, complexity and humor to stay in the saddle. Worth the read. | ||||

Thinking that he wrote this well before second life is a fear unto itself. However the story and plot are also great. | ||||

As always Neal Stephenson sucks you in and once the story gets going you can't put it down | ||||

I read this years ago when it first was published and loved it then. Bought it again and enjoyed it just as much. I do recommend this to my friends if they like sci-fi or express an interest in the cyberpunk genre and consider his writing to be better than Gibson's. | ||||

I first read this in 2016, somehow missing out for nearly 25 years. Reading it after playing World of Warcraft and countless other MMORPG games, it's mind blowing to realize it was written before those existed. Stephenson foresaw them and whipped up a ripping yarn (to fix a phetamor). The ancient Sumerian mysticism goes over the top, imho, but for the most part Snow Crash astounds with its prescience. It's one of those rare books that manages to be thought-provoking and page-turning at the same time. It showed up on Samuel Goldman's 2013 list of "10 Sci Fi and Fantasy Works Every Conservative Should Read" for its convincing depiction of the horror that is anarcho-capitalism. For what that's worth. | ||||

A interesting plot weaving memetics, religion, linguistics and futurism. A long read but worth it. Very well researched as is Cryptonomicon. | ||||

Bought for a Cyberpunk class. Shorts stories intriguing. | ||||

A true cyberpunk classic. If you have not read this book, your are missing out on this rocking good time set in an alternate late 80's early 90's. | ||||
