Readers discuss Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash ahead of new reading

Original: I'm planning on reading Snow Crash and would like to know what the # Fediverse thinks of it. Is there anything I should

A reader who enjoyed Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon is planning to pick up Snow Crash and is asking fellow science fiction fans for their thoughts and tips before starting. Responses and discussion have centred on the novel's take on virtual reality, the origin of the term 'metaverse', and how its satirical cyberpunk style compares with Stephenson's later, denser books.

Why now: Snow Crash remains a touchstone of cyberpunk fiction, so requests for opinions before reading reliably spark discussion among science fiction fans.
