Some of the most dense writing, ever. Incredible. But not for dumb/shallow/clueless people. | ||||

I can't believe I missed out on this book until now. The Metaverse isn't a new concept any more, but the book is still fantastic. The writing is superb. It is hilarious, packed with meaning, and well-paced, and the world(s) built up in the story, both the "real world" and the metaverse, are easy to imagine. This was my first Neal Stephenson novel, and I can't wait to read more. | ||||

This is one of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors. It's Neal Stephenson, so you're going to be getting humorous explanatory digressions woven into the narrative, with the occassional fast-paced action myths thrown in. If you like that, you'll love him. If not, it won't be your cup of tea. Set into the near future on the west coast of the United States, society has fragmented into a variety of quasi-independent groups (a "distributed republic," if we are to use the proper term) that usually get along just fine. A new drug called Snow Crash has been going around, and, while ts effects are unclear, it apparently causes effects both in the physical world and in the new way of experiencing the Internet: the Metaverse, sometimes with very bad consequences for people and even the machinery involved. Our protagonists work to uncover the mysterious past and effects of Snow Crash, which takes them on a wild tour of everything from Sumerian mythology to virology, and just about everything in between. As the protagonists race for something that might slow down or stop Snow Crash, the shadowy people responsible for its creation are drawing ever-closer to their secret, ultimate goal. Now, is this book perfect? No. There is no such thing as a perfect book. However, it does highlight some important themes. Example could be given, but I don't want to spoil the plot. Ideas about how culture is transmitted (or even what the word "culture" even means) abound. The book also has had enormous implications for computer games and web development, including popularizing the term "avatar." influencing the development of Google Earth, and predicting technology similar to Google Goggles, 3D online virtual worlds, online user-created libraries, augmented reality, and publicly-available satellite photography. I find it well-worth the read. | ||||

I found it fast paced and amusing. Intelligent. Book is like 20 years oLd. Seems nit picky to say character depth is lacking. | ||||

Best cyberpunk book I've ever read. I actually bought a hardcopy after having borrowed this book from my local library. I read it faster than any other book I've read in the last decade, I was so transfixed. It's a delightful piece of sci-fi and compulsively readable. | ||||

This book was recommended by a friend. I have never read much scifi/fantasy but I greatly enjoyed this book. It was somewhat Orwellian only a much lighter style. I became more engaged with the characters as time went on and I was disappointed when I came to the end. The story could easily continued and I would have been happy to read. | ||||

The beginning is wandering...the rest is wonderful! The fun of a seasoned fully-aware and wry author with a GREAT idea hit my imagination perfectly.. At times rambling, at times brilliant but always entertaining. | ||||

This book should get some laughs and that alone makes it worth it. Before reading snowcrash I read reamde, snowcrash was more enjoyable to me. Some of Stephenson narrative is good, but his books as a whole always seem to lack something. After reading his novels I don't feel a big motivation to read some of his other work. | ||||

One of the best SF novels I've read. I was fully hooked from the first chapter; the world Stephenson creates is smart, intriguing, and deep. | ||||

How did it take me so long to read this book? I don't remember who recommended it, but thank you very much. Almost every character drew me into their part of the story. Great read! | ||||

This is one of the great cyber punk novels of all time - quite possibly the greatest. If you haven't yet read it, you are in for an unforgettable treat. Sublime. Unforgettable. This is why we read science fiction. | ||||

I'm really bad at reviewing books. I mean, I either like it, and it goes on my shelf to be read over and over, or it doesn't. This is one of those books I keep reading over and over. In Snow Crash, Stephenson predicts a lot of current and developing technology centered around computers, virtual reality, and the internet. While I wouldn't necessarily describe it as 'cyber-punk' it does share some elements with the genre. I highly suggest everyone reads this book, no matter who you are. | ||||

A good book for those of a nerdier taste. It was weird in all the right ways. A good dose of sarcasim as the comedic presence.it was strange, weird, and great. | ||||

Stephensen is a Leader, always has been, still on the edge. One of the 21st Century Masters | ||||

One of my favorites ever. Got this as a Kindle version to fit in with the rest of my library. Some very interesting ideas, based on some very dubious science :-) | ||||

This is a fantastic book - one of my favorite ones. I read it once every few years and am anxiously awaiting a virtual world like this one. Stephenson writes excellent sci fi for sure. | ||||

So much fun! Great characters, story, everything. As close a book can come to being a movie in your head. | ||||
