Beschrijving
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
A cross between
Neuromancer
and Thomas Pynchon's
Vineland
. This is no mere hyperbole

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
