Hey team, we made it through the first third of Snow
Crash! Whether you devoured it like a hyper-optimized
pizza delivery or coasted through on a skateboard like
Y.T., we're officially jacked in. Give yourself a
celebratory high-five.
This opening chunk launched us straight into Neal
Stephenson's chaotic, neon-lit world where the Mafia
delivers pizza with military precision, the
government's been outsourced, and a guy named Hiro
Protagonist moonlights as both a hacker and the
greatest swordfighter in the Metaverse. We've met
Y.T., our magnetic Kourier with attitude to spare, and
glimpsed the Metaverse—equal parts visionary and
uncannily prophetic.
And just when things are starting to feel (almost)
familiar, enter: a mysterious drug/code hybrid,
ancient Sumerian myth, and whisperings of a data-virus
called Snow Crash. Buckle up—things are about to get
even weirder.
