Product Description
Only once in a fantastic while does a writer come along who defies comparison–a writer so original he redefines the way we look at the world. Neal Stephenson is such a writer and Snow Crash is such a novel, weaving virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility to bring us the gigathriller of the information age.
In reality, Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo’s CosaNostra Pizza Inc., but in the Metaverse he’s a warrior prince. Plunging hastily into the enigma of a new computer virus that’s arresting down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-ruin mission for the dark virtual villain threatening to bring about Infocalypse. Snow Crash is a mind-altering romp through a future America so bizarre, so outrageous…you’ll admit it immediately.
Amazon.com Review
From the opening line of his leap forwards cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson plunges the reader into a not-too-distant future. It is a world where the Mafia controls pizza manner of language, 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 judge it should. Enter Hiro Protagonist–hacker, samurai swordsman, and pizza-manner of language driver. When his best friend fries his brain on a new designer drug called Snow Crash and his gorgeous, brainy ex-girlfriend questions 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. Quicker 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.
