Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson - discuss Yuri Send a noteboard - 11/04/2010 07:59:35 AM
I have just started reading Snow Crash, its the first Neal Stephenson book I've read. Love the humour, wish i was a samurai pizza deliver guy!

So without too many spoilers what are your opinions of the book?

Great fun to read, full of awesome ideas. Does to linguistics what Dan Brown did to history, but hey Tim - 13/04/2010 11:22:41 PM 1037 Views
He nailed Second Life, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/04/2010 01:40:06 AM 386 Views
I guess so. And it probably won't be too long before we have gargoyles walking around. *NM* Tim - 14/04/2010 08:46:57 AM 387 Views

it is cyberpunk right? random thoughts - 16/04/2010 06:35:57 PM 846 Views
If you mean "Is he pushing a political agenda?", absolutely not. Tim - 18/04/2010 04:27:47 PM 896 Views
I may have to put it back on to be read list then random thoughts - 18/04/2010 07:34:57 PM 910 Views
What's your definition of "cyberpunk"? Tim - 18/04/2010 08:07:02 PM 924 Views
not having read much cyberpunk it isn't a well defined definition random thoughts - 19/04/2010 06:42:16 PM 906 Views
Theme-wise it's fairly close to what you describe, only not boring. Tim - 19/04/2010 08:02:16 PM 916 Views
I agree completely and I will random thoughts - 19/04/2010 08:39:36 PM 823 Views
Some sort of cyberpunk, yes. jh - 18/04/2010 05:29:32 PM 967 Views
It's often considered "post-cyberpunk" beetnemesis - 19/04/2010 05:23:15 PM 889 Views
cool thanks random thoughts - 19/04/2010 06:16:01 PM 889 Views
I feel there's definitely some anti-corporationism in there, but it's wildly exaggerated. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/04/2010 07:46:21 PM 369 Views
Sociological not political... like all good sci fi Yuri - 20/04/2010 08:17:21 AM 806 Views
