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 Crash is
such a novel 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. 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.
