Snow Crash by Neal StephensonSure, the world of Snow Crash features a dystopian society divided into warring franchises and fascist suburbs, but who said Dystopia had to be depressing? (Orwell?)
I appreciate being able to read about the disturbing possibilities of the future without the somber tones of despair. Instead of tears of hopelessness, Snow Crash delivers magical linguistics, ubiquitous harpoons, and of course, pizza, fresh from the Mafia and always on time!
I recommend this book to people who like linguistics, binary, home-owner-associations, harpoons, easily identifiable protagonists, and that fuzzy static that comes on the T.V. sometimes....
