Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson is a very impressive display
of creative possibilities of science fiction. The main character is Hiro
Protagonist, a freelance hacker/pizza delivery boy. It takes place in a future
America where a thing called the Metaverse (basically the internet but cooler)
has a hold on the hyper-capitalist society and an unknown virus called Snow
Crash is let loose. I could give credit just for the cool concepts Stephenson
came up with for his book. I personally love to come up with cool concepts and
try to give them believable backstories or any way to make them more plausible
so when I read a story like this about a crazy world full of cool concepts and
the writer takes the time to bring out little details for these concepts I
really do appreciate them. On top of that the humor does add flavor to it that
helps the kind of complex premise.
