streator 's review for:
Snow Crash
by Neal Stephenson
One of my favorite books ever by one of my top two or three authors ever, what's not to like about rereading it? Though I haven't read this book in over 20 years or so, I still LOVED it. In reading some of Neal's later books (I have all of them, I think, hard to tell sometimes, though), sometimes you can forget how FUNNY Neal can be. Hysterically funny, actually. That is, if you have the right sense of humor, which, luckily, I have in spades.
So, yes, it's a great book. And yes, some of the computer science aspects of the story is probably a little outdated, but what the hell, it's a great story! Told with dash and elan, one tends to burn through the pages. Because, really, doesn't everyone somewhere deep inside wish they could be as competent and interesting as Hiro?
