I couldn’t get into the book. The plot seems good, and the one action scene I read in chapter two was interesting, but there’s a ton of telling narrative and info dumping. I was struggling through the first two chapters, then gave up.
M'ha encantat. Molt.
Algun tros se m'ha fet una mica massa llarg però en general m'ha semblat molt interessant.

thoroughly enjoyed, a v classic sci fi, cyberpunk novel. very relevant and interesting bc of all the metaverse shit happening rn, that’s what got me into reading it, and it was cool reading it as someone interested in comp sci and who likes all that futuristic sci fi stuffs. sometimes I could get a little lost in the words and the overwhelming amount of characters and history, but overall I really enjoyed reading this book.

After a friend's recommendation a few years back, I finally picked up Snow Crash and was not dissappointed. As a computer programmer and former gamer, I was really impressed by the technological vision and forsight acheived way back in 1992. The first half of the book flew by at 10000 miles an hour, and I did enjoy the Summarian mythology. I do have to say that the end of the book became a bit predictable and could have used a few more twists and surprises. I found myself laboring a bit to get through it. But overall, I would rate this book very highly and recommend it for anyone that enjoys visionary science fiction.

A very boisterous novel in the vein of Neuromancer. The opening passages about pizza delivery in the distopian future are an absolute banger, but the middle gets bogged down in tedious exposition of a linguistic virus theory and the whole thing is overlong.
