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. | ||||

Great book with a really engaging story. Reading as research for the game that we're working on at Dream Harvest Games. | ||||

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... | ||||

I found this novel fantastically ahead of it's time--being penned in '92. The cast of characters was VERY WELL thought out, and it held incredible promise as it began and reached a prolonged fever pitch...but why did the finale have to de-evolve into the archaicly redundant "final battle?" | ||||

Warning - spoiler alert!! This book was written over 20 years ago, and I am writing this 2 days after the terror attacks in Paris which have resulted in 129 dead and 99 critically injured. I finished reading the book at about the same time as these attacks occurred. In the book many refugees are heading for America, and some very bad people are manipulating the situation. I know how it all finishes in the book, but am not at all sure how the similar situation in Europe will work out in reality. Stephenson has also done a very good job of constructing a world with a highly developed online component, which comes across as futuristic even now, despite the developments in that field since the book was published in 1992. The future world depicted is believable, and there is another factor which struck me - the inability of a particular minor character to keep up with the changes in society sufficiently to understand the life of her teenage daughter. This has always been an issue in society, of course, but in a society changing as rapidly as the one depicted here, or even in ours, here in reality today, many suffer from "Future Shock" in the sense Alvin Toffler meant it. This is one of the rare books that has been put in my "Read Again" collection, because it is so clever and complex that I doubt whether I have grasped all of it properly. | ||||
