lyssalutz870 's review for:
Snow Crash
by Neal Stephenson
Interesting story, I liked the fact that so much of it is built off of ancient history, religion and linguistics. I did think the several pages re-explaining everything Hiro had learned was overkill, and the idea Rife found the virus in space felt really silly.
It's most definitely a book that was obviously published in 2000. In one way because some of the technology and computer science information is dated: the examples given for programming languages were prolog, cobol, fortran and lisp. Plus it has some uncomfortable bits - as most 90s and early aughts media does. Why am I reading a graphic scene of a fifteen year old girl having sex? Oh, and don't forget the slurs!
