Additional Snow Crash Information

From the opening line of his breakthrough cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson plunges the reader into a not-too-distant future. It is a world where the Mafia controls pizza delivery, the United States exists as a patchwork of corporate-franchise city-states, and the Internet--incarnate as the Metaverse--looks something like last year's hype would lead you to believe it should. Enter Hiro Protagonist--hacker, samurai swordsman, and pizza-delivery driver. When his best friend fries his brain on a new designer drug called Snow Crash and his beautiful, brainy ex-girlfriend asks for his help, what's a guy with a name like that to do? He rushes to the rescue. A breakneck-paced 21st-century novel, Snow Crash interweaves everything from Sumerian myth to visions of a postmodern civilization on the brink of collapse. Faster than the speed of television and a whole lot more fun, Snow Crash is the portrayal of a future that is bizarre enough to be plausible.

 

What Customers Say About Snow Crash:

Didn't care so much for all of the language though. Loved the story and all the geek that is involved. Would recommend to other geeks looking for a fun read.

I would recommend this to anyone who is into cyber punk books, the internet, or pizza. Not his best book but definitely worth it. Great read and well worth the time as long as you are into technology and interested in what the future may hold.

For some reason I found the style of writing extremely irritating. But I just wanted to say that I didn't really like it. After a while I got so annoyed with the book I couldn't be bothered finishing it and took it back to the library.Some people might like it, but I found it unreadable. There are a lot of well written reviews for this book, and I'm not going to attempt a thorough review. That would be unfair as I didn't finish the book. I think the author tries too hard to write in a cool style, but it ends up as a flashy, verbose, cacophony of words totally obscuring anything in the way of character development or plot.

Pooning sounds like a gas. It contains the best virtual sword fight EVER. EVERYONE wants T R Caspell mr. I think this is NS very best. Todd Royall Caspell RIDE LOTS Tord,Thor,Torka,Todo and sundry (expressed opinions not necessarily of my brain) Todd R Caspell Hero Protagonist, The Deliverator, what a great name.

Toads wild ride. This is the best cyber punk novel ever written. I recommend it and all NS but I suggest you read this one first. Think I am going to get out my rebar katana and read it again.

It had twists I never saw coming, and I'd never have predicted how it would end. Loved the book. Ending was a little abrupt though.
