A review by moshikami
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

3.0

Snow Crash is full of brilliant, influential ideas. When I first started reading Snow Crash, I was captivated by its cyberpunk world. I loved the dystopian libertarian Los Angeles, and was especially interested by the Metaverse and its intricacies. Unfortunately, I found the story somewhat haphazardly stitched together. It seemed that Stephenson knew which events he wanted to have happen, but didn't know how to or didn't care to bother with linking them together coherently. The characters could be somewhat one dimensional as well. I understand that this is Stephenson's first book, and I am amazed by his imagination and that this was written in 1992. Would definitely like to check out more of his work in the future!
