Fellow Metaverse marauders, can you believe we’re already two-thirds through Snow Crash? If your brain feels like it’s been hacked by a Sumerian meme-virus, you’re not alone. Let’s jack in and recap the wild ride so far:

• Hiro Protagonist: Hacker, katana-wielder, and ex-pizza guy for the Mafia, now chasing the deadly Snow Crash code.
• Y.T. (Yours Truly): Teenage courier, master pooner, and all-around badass—skating through danger and Mafia schemes.
• Snow Crash: Not just a drug—it’s a brain-melting virus/code/religion hybrid that can take down hackers and control minds.
• L. Bob Rife: Corporate cult leader using ancient Sumerian language to unleash Snow Crash and reboot civilization (with himself in charge, of course).
• The Metaverse: Where digital and real threats collide, and dying online could fry your brain for real.

Strap in, because the final act is about to go full-throttle. Hiro’s sword will clash with Raven’s nuke-toting menace, Y.T. will have to outwit both corporate cultists and Mafia bosses, and the fate of free will itself hangs in the balance. Will our heroes crash the system or get caught in the reboot? No spoilers—but trust me, you won’t want to log off until the last byte. See you in the Metaverse, fellow info-mancers!
