Only once in a great 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 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.

Only drawback is the varying sound quality, it will swap between high, low, and medium abruptly throughout most chapters.

A cyberpunk tale for the ages.

This book is an example of what makes Neal Stephenson great.

I like the setting and world this takes place in, it's jaded & harsh but also grounded in its own fictional way.

There are some truly badass characters in this book. Hero, YT and Raven are just too cool to ignore.
Just listen to Reason & enjoy the aftermath!

One of the books that got me into Audiobooks

Incredibly prescient! Stephenson basically predicted things like Google Earth and computer assistants like Siri, services unknown when the book was published in 1992

Awesome
