One of Time magazine's 100 all-time best
English-language novels.
Only once in a great while
does a writer come along who defies comparison—a writer so
original he redefines the way we look at the world. Neal
Stephenson is such a writer and Snow Crash is such a
novel, weaving virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just
about everything in between with a cool, hip
cybersensibility to bring us the gigathriller of the
information age. In reality, Hiro Protagonist
delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo’s CosoNostra Pizza Inc., but
in the Metaverse he’s a warrior prince. Plunging headlong
into the enigma of a new computer virus that’s striking down
hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a
search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain
threatening to bring about infocalypse. Snow Crash is
a mind-altering romp through a future America so bizarre, so
outrageous…you’ll recognize it immediately.
