Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

The Metaverse is cyberspace home to avatars and software daemons, where anything and just about everything goes. Newly available on the Street - the Metaverse's main drag - is Snow Crash, a cyberdrug. Trouble is Snow Crash is also a computer virus - and something more. Because once taken it infects the person behind the avatar.

Stephenson excels in marrying geekspeak with riotous action * Guardian *
A cross between Neuromancer and Thomas Pynchon's VinelandThis is no mere hyperbole * San Francisco Bay Guardian *
Brilliantly realized. Stephenson [is] an engaging guide to an onrushing tomorrow * The New York Times *
A fantastic, slam-bang-overdrive, supersurrealistic, comic-spooky whirl through a tomorrow that is already happening. Stephenson is intelligent, perceptive, hip * Timothy Leary *
Like a Pynchon novel with the brakes removed * Washington Post *
