Detailed item info

Synopsis
Neal Stephenson staked out a piece of William Gibson's cyberterritory in this 90s slacker-hacker novel. In a Balkanized America run entirely by corporations, a computer hacker moonlighting as a pizza delivery guy and a tough young female courier take on a glass-knife-wielding Aleut who possesses a nuclear bomb and a mogul planning to use ancient Sumerian texts to rewrite the software in everyone's brains. This cult classic takes on--among other topics--neurolinguistics, online etiquette, televangelism, thrasher culture, corporate and civil bureaucracy, and the legendary antecedents of the Tower of Babel. SNOW CRASH was Stephenson's breakout book, and it was the earliest of his works to display his interest in language and cryptography, both of which he explores further in his massive, somewhat more mainstream CRYPTONOMICON and his BAROQUE CYCLE series.

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 Crashis such a novel, weaving virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cyber-sensibility to bring us the gigantic thriller of the information age. In reality, Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo's Cosa Nostra Inc., but it 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.

Reviews
"Brilliantly realized... Stephenson turns out to be an engaging guide to an onrushing tomorrow." --The New York Times Book Review. "Snow Crash takes on a whole slew of nasty contemporary trends and extrapolates them hilariously into a pessimistic and unlikely newar future... this is one book to chill out with this summer." --Mondo 2000. "Stylish noir extrapolation becomes gloriously witty social satire... savor Stephenson's delicious prose and cheerfully impudent wit. Cyberpunk isn't dead -- it has just (belatedly) developed a sense of humor." --Locus. "A fantastic, slam-bang-overdrive, supersurrealistic, comic-spooky whirl through a tomorrow that is already happening. Neal Stephenson is intelligent, perceptive, hip and will become a major force in American writing." -- Timothy Leary. "A cross betweenNeuromancer and Thomas Pynchon'sVineland. This is no mere hyperbole." --San Francisco Bay Guardian. "Fast-forwarded free-style mall mythology for the 21st Century." -- William Gibson.

SNOW CRASH


NEAL STEPHENSON



In the near future, Americans excel at only two things:

writing software and delivering pizza in less than 30 minutes.

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?

But now a strange new computer virus called Snow Crash has invaded even this last sanctuary of liberty.

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:

a pizza delivery guy is a warrior prince dude in the Metaverse.

A mind-altering romp through a future America so bizarre, so outrageous...you'll recognize it immediately.

Cult cyber novel of the nineties. Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 4-437.

Bantam Spectra paperback 1992. Cover illo by Bruce Jensen. Fine- appears unread.
