Snow Crash

Story: 3 / 10
Characters: 6
Setting: 5
Prose: 4

Snow Crash and Neuromancer (Gibson) are well known as the two more famous Cyberpunk novels ever written. Neither really work though (1 / 5). Gibson's novel takes place almost exclusively online and is extremely difficult to follow. Thankfully, Stephenson's virtual world is interesting and significantly more straightforward. Snow Crash's problem is really that the prose is obscure and the action story is worthless. Despite the minute value the book had for me...
...I can recommend it to readers interested in linguistics and analytic philosophy.
