Review of 'Snow Crash' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

This story had an interesting cyberpunk world, an engaging concept, cool characters, and great writing, so I loved it. I did have a few pet peeves about it, like the fact that anyone who works with code in any way (i.e. programmers/developers) are all always referred to as "hackers" and the idea that all "hackers" have an intrinsic subconscious understanding of binary code, which is definitely not the case. Plus the underage objectification and sex thing with YT wasn't cool—at least it was kept to a minimum, I guess?

Other than that, this was an awesome and very enjoyable story that I would recommend to anyone who likes futuristic fiction.
