Publisher Description
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.
Customer Reviews
Great Narrator
Rating is for the audiobook and the narration rather than the material itself. I’m new to audiobooks, but I thought the narrator did a great job with the different characters and voices. He made it easy to tell which character was speaking and to follow along.
great book
neal stephenson is a wicked great writer and with the wicked powerful voice of jonathan davis just makes the story wicked awesome.
Disappointed - DRM
Unfortunately this book will serve as a martyr for Apple's inability to warn about their distribution practices. I am going on a trip and planned on listening to audiobooks, having an iPad I bought Snow Crash believing that with Apples cloud services I would be able to download it from any of my devices(iPhone, macbook). Wrong, you can only download the file once. That's the last time I buy an audiobook from apple. So far the book is good, however I will be forced to look elsewhere for Part 2, thanks to apple.
