NEAL STEPHENSON
Snow Crash
A breakneck-paced 21st-century novel, Snow Crash
interweaves everything from Sumerian myth to visions of a postmodern
civilization on the brink of collapse. Faster than the speed of television
and a much more fun, Snow Crash is the portrayalof a future that is
bizarre enough to be plausible, where the Mafia controls pizza delivery,
the United States exists as a patchwork of corporate-franchise
city-states, and the Internet - incarnate as the Metaverse - looks something
like last year's hype would lead you to believe it should.
