One of Time's 100 best English-language novels • A mind-altering romp through a future America so bizarre so outrageous you'll recognize it immediately 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 CosoNostra 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. Praise for Snow Crash "[Snow Crash is] a cross between Neuromancer and Thomas Pynchon's Vineland. This is no mere hyperbole."-The San Francisco Bay Guardian "Fast-forward free-style mall mythology for the twenty-first century."-William Gibson "Brilliantly realized . . . Stephenson turns out to be an engaging guide to an onrushing tomorrow."-The New York Times Book Review
