peterredshoes 's review for:
Snow Crash
by Neal Stephenson
The more books I read that aren't as fascinating at this one, the more I realize how much I enjoyed it and how highly I think of it. Written in 1992, a few years before the Internet began encroaching into the realm of the midstream, it still manages to convey a futuristic version of the Web with impressive plausibility. And the Metaverse is just one of many key elements to the setting and story. Stephenson manages to cram the Mafia, commentary on the rise of the franchise in American culture, samurai sword-fighting, linguistics, and plenty of intrigue all into one novel.
It's impossible to describe "Snow Crash" either extemporaneously or succinctly. Just read it.
