meh. maybe pick it up again in the future, just didn’t connect with any character

Thee most '90s dudebro sci fi novel out there, I think. For some, this is a recommendation. For others, this is a warning.

It was a well written novel, but I struggled with the Librarian and Hiro talk back forth about religion chapters (I wonder how Stephenson felt when ChatGTP became so ubiquitous). Y. T. was my favourite character but holy moly could we please stop pointing out she's 15 and wants older men. Did I really have to be in the room for the sex scene? I get it happens and I get there's no more laws in this cyberpunk word but. C'mon, dude. She's fifteen. 

Just couldn’t get into it. May try again in the future

Snow Crash was okay. There were several large holes and difficult to believe leaps that the author left, but it was still fun.
