Snow CrashSummary

“Snow Crash: A Novel” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Hiro lives in a Los Angeles where franchises line the freeway as far as the eye can see. The only relief from the sea of logos is within the autonomous city-states, where law-abiding citizens don’t dare leave their mansions. Hiro delivers pizza to the mansions for a living, defending his pies from marauders when necessary with a matched set of samurai swords. His home is a shared 20 X 30 U-Stor-It. He spends most of his time goggled in to the Metaverse, where his avatar is legendary. But in the club known as The Black Sun, his fellow hackers are being felled by a weird new drug called Snow Crash that reduces them to nothing more than a jittering cloud of bad digital karma (and IRL, a vegetative state). Investigating the Infocalypse leads Hiro all the way back to the beginning of language itself, with roots in an ancient Sumerian priesthood. He’ll be joined by Y.T., a fearless teenaged skateboard courier. Together, they must race to stop a shadowy virtual villain hell-bent on world domination.

Brief Summary Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

The story is mostly great. In fact, if I’d rated the book at around 80 or 85% complete, I’d have had no trouble saying 4.5 stars. But the end there… I don’t know how to describe what happened that caused the shift in certainty without spoilers…Let’s just say there’s a story event that is deeply troubling as far as why it was even included, and whether the author considers the, ermm, actions that occurred as morally acceptable behavior; or what exactly the intention was when choosing that specific plot piece… When you get to it, you’ll know, as it was incredibly uncomfortable to read…The other issue I kept running into is what seemed to me to be these incredibly lazy (either lazy or otherwise ignorant on the author’s part) jumps in logical reasoning when unwinding the what and why part of plotline… I mean, I understand what the end goal was. The “route” to get to that end goal, however, was littered in logical fallacies and historical inaccuracies.
