Snow Crash is an amazing, amazing book. There’s nothing quite similar to Snow Crash. Snow Crash is in a league of its own.

For @nealstephenson, I'd recommend 'The Diamond Age' (1995) in addition to 'Snow Crash' (1992) -- a vision of how decentralized, interactive, customized education could enlighten billions

That said, I think it's a somewhat denuded public space when literally the only things that function are Amazon delivering your stuff, Zoom staying up, and everything else going to hell.Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is a wonderful book that completely nails where we were going, though it was written back in the 1990s.

Re-read Snow Crash this weekend, and it is remarkable that it was published *30 years ago* in 1992… sovereign corporations hyperinflation digital currency the metaverse anon avatars memetics linguistic brain viruses … it really has it all.

In reality, Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo's CosoNostra Pizza Inc., but in the Metaverse he's a warrior prince. Plunging headlong into the enigma of a new computer virus that's striking down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain threatening to bring about infocalypse. Snow Crash is a mind-altering romp through a future America so bizarre, so outrageous… you'll recognize it immediately.
