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! | ||||

No long review here, just a simple piece of advice; If you love Douglas Adams' work you will love this too. It is now in my top 5 favorite books of all time. | ||||

A primer for many popular science fiction movies of the last two decades and modern Internet ideas. | ||||

There are few authors who can inspire their audience to critically think. Stephenson explores so many concepts that forces his reader to think. This is the kind of art that is as infectious as the virus he writes about. | ||||

This book was both exciting and interesting. It was a relief to read sci-fi that didn't set up a sequel for a change. I found Stephenson's writing to be exceptional, and was hooked for the majority of the story. Some interesting insights into historical religion as well as potential futures of computer science (although it is funny how many of the things in the book feel extremely obsolete or dated, while others seem impossibly far-off). I am used to reading space-based sci-fi, but this was definitely a great read. I may even look into reading some of Stephenson's other work in hopes of finding some more one-volume, non-space sci-fi. | ||||

Definitely the best opening chapter of any novel ever. Such fun. The language is great and the story an exciting adventure. Two well drawn main characters.You don't have to like Sci-fi to enjoy it. | ||||
