In reality, Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo’s CosaNostra Pizza Inc., but in 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.

A re-read of an old favourite

5 stars

Revisiting an old favourite, mostly because the teenager in the house had it recommended to them. As good as always, but now seeming oddly dated at times. Ex-vietnam characters' ages place it in the early 2000s, but that now puts it 20 years ago

Nearly Perfect

4 stars

An absolute classic masterpiece of cyberpunk with social commentary and themes just as relevant today as when it was written. Marred by its creepy obsession with a 15 year old character.
