Its consistently rated in the top 25 sci-fi books of all time. It has a 4 on that googlereads link which isnt bad considering how many people mistake critique and contrarianism on that website if they bother to form an opinion other than "yeah it was good, but i didnt like it".

I found it a very good read especially when you take into account when it was written, ideas ahead of his time and which are now part of the mainstream.

Deserves some heat for the name of the main character alone, Hiro Protagonist.

Opening post

"The only relief from the sea of logos is within the well-guarded borders
of the Burbclaves. Is it any wonder that most sane folks have forsaken
the real world and chosen to live in the computer-generated universe of
virtual reality? In a major city, the size of a dozen Manhattans, is a
domain of pleasures limited only by the imagination. But now a strange
new computer virus called Snow Crash is striking down hackers
everywhere, leaving an unlikely young man as humankind's last best hope."

Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest mother fucker in the world.
