| A cyberpunk classic, Snow Crash is a bizarre combination of sci fi, religion, computation, history, linguistic and action. Stranger still, it works. The story follows Hiro Protagonist, a hacker, swordsman and pizza delivery guy for the mafia. He ends up allying himself to Y. T., a teenage extreme skateboarder, as they face a conspiracy involving a cult that has a kind of computer virus that infects flesh and bones people. And if characters like a “hacker, swordsman and pizza delivery guy for the mafia” sounds ridiculous is because they really are, and Stephenson seems to revel in this. Perhaps the most strange one is a giant whale hunter and mercenary called Corvo that moves around in a Harley Davidson armed with a nuclear bomb and has the words “NO EMOTIONAL CONTROL” tattooed on his forehead. The story is set in a futuristic Los Angeles in which the USA government collapsed and got split in several “franchise-countries”. A place where McDonald’s can become an autonomous nation, with it’s own law, police and currency. Snow Crash was released in 1992 and by then the cyberpunk style crystallized in the 80’s had moved into self-satire. In a way Snow Crash does to cyberpunk what a movie like Kill Bill does to kung fu flicks of the 1960’s and 1970’s. It’s an over the top and absurd version of the original source material that at the same time satirizes and celebrates it. The book popularized several computer terms, like “daemon”, a computer program that emulates human behavior, and “avatar” as a virtual representation of users in a metaverse. You could also say Stephenson also kinda predicted some future technologies, like a Librarian that seems like a Google precursor and human “gargoyles” that film everything, much like our present reality of omnipresent smartphones. | ||||

| Snow Crash is a sci-fi novel set in California, where the world has turned into a conglomeration of corporate entities, with a parallel Matrix-like world called the Metaverse. Hiro Protagonist, the main character, is a hacker who finds himself needing to save the world from a virus that infects both humans and computers alike. Snow Crash was well thought out and researched. The plot zips along, but not so fast that the reader can't follow. There were a couple parts where it got bogged down, specifically in the beginning when the author sets up the world Hiro lives in, and later when Hiro does some research, but otherwise it was thoroughly entertaining. Snow Crash was hard to put down, but packed with a long story. I hope this book becomes a movie! | ||||

| This book is a masterpiece. Really that's all I can say. How Neal Stephenson can combine history and stories of ancient Sumerian, Tower of Babel, etc, with cyberpunk is beyond me. The idea that the brain can be directly programmed and linking that back to historical events is awesome. Snow Crash is a classic in my book, a genre maker. Snow Crash is a must read, not just for Sci Fi fans, but for everyone who enjoys reading. Stephenson coins terms to write this book, metaverse, avatar, he imagined a world so unique he had to reshape what language currently existed to fit the needs of the story. He also imagined a world so unique, it influenced the real world, the earth software from the novel is now a reality, Google Earth. I felt the characters were pretty solid, I felt YT's character was developed well and a little more creative than Hiro. Reading this book many years after it was written and reading other books that were probably heavily influenced by this one, perhaps has influenced me, maybe Hiro was a more compelling character back when it was written. But that small criticism aside, you should read this book! It is one of my all time favorites, by my all time favorite author. | ||||

| Hilarious and hyperbolic exploration of the world ours is becoming. Stephenson's classic is a must-read for anyone vaguely interested in the ways in which technology and corporatization impact our way of living. | ||||

| The book and the many ideas in it make for rivetting reading. The end is somewhat predictable and the beginning of the "action sequences" is also the start of the slow fade into "standard" fiction. | ||||

| This is a good book for anybody big into scifi, although I will say the theology in the middle of the book gets to be a bit of a slog, and the ending was a bit abrupt and sudden. I really love the prose. | ||||

| It's not Shakespeare, but it's still one of my favourite books. Even now in the 21st century I would argue it still stands out as a great work of scifi. Recommended. | ||||

| I have not read a ton of sci-fi books, but I heard this was recommended and gave it a shot. The plot and characters are really out there... very complex and not something you would ever expect. The book was interesting and captivating at most times, but it really slows down when it gets to explaining an underlying psycho-linguistic theory (connecting the origin of humanity and development of language) that moves the plot. It feels as though the book was written around this theory and not the other way around, don't know if it's such a good thing. If you like sci-fi and also have deep interest in ancient civilization and language theory - this book could be just for you! If not, still a very nice book but not a must... | ||||
