"This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?"
Juanita shrugs. "What's the difference?"


The only relief from the sea of logos is within the well-guarded borders of the Burbclaves. Is it any wonder that most sane folks have forsaken the real world and chosen to live in the computer-generated universe of virtual reality?

In a major city, the size of a dozen Manhattans, is a domain of pleasures limited only by the imagination. But now a strange new computer virus called Snow Crash is striking down hackers everywhere, leaving an unlikely young pizza delivery man as humankind's last best hope.

The perfect cyberpunk sci-fi read, Snow Crash is an equally worthy successor to William Gibson's Neuromancer and predecessor to Ernest Cline's Ready Player One.

'Loved it! Can't recommend it highly enough. Everyone should read this book. Go do it. Do it now. It's just awesome. You won't regret it' Goodreads Reader Review

'It's hilarious and mind-blowing. From the first page to the last, I was amazed at just how much influence this book has had on TV, movies, etc.' Goodreads Reader Review

MEDIA REVIEWS
Stephenson excels in marrying geekspeak with riotous action A cross between Neuromancer and Thomas Pynchon's Vineland. This is no mere hyperbole Brilliantly realized. Stephenson [is] an engaging guide to an onrushing tomorrow A fantastic, slam-bang-overdrive, supersurrealistic, comic-spooky whirl through a tomorrow that is already happening. Stephenson is intelligent, perceptive, hip Like a Pynchon novel with the brakes removed

“One of my favorite sci-fi novels for years!”

This is one of the best cyberpunk/dystopian-style sci-fi novels that I've read; it's got some great, vivid detail about a William Gibson-esque near-future L.A., which has been divided up into dozens of... More
