About This Item
This is a really nice, first edition 1st print trade paperback of Neal Stephenson's breakthrough novel "Snow Crash". 1st edition first print with full number line ending in 1. Some very minor wrinkling on the back cover and the front being prone to slightly opening if left sitting flat are the only real issues with the copy.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. Pictures are of actual item. The book will be sent with tracking, securely packed in an oversized box to ensure safe transit. Take a look at my other items!
Synopsis
Snow Crash is Neal Stephenson's third novel, published in 1992. Like many of Stephenson's other novels it references history, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, religion, computer science, politics, cryptography, and philosophy. Stephenson explained the title of the novel in his 1999 essay In the Beginning... was the Command Line as his term for a particular software failure mode on the early Apple Macintosh computer.
Reviews
In one of the most perceivable dystopian futures that I can imagine, Hiro is everything.
Honestly, I'm not looking for the money. I am registering an amount because your own review of this book captures the fine points so well. Neal Stevenson's writing in Snow Crash is so visceral and complex, that you have no choice but to become immersed in the world he creates. It fires your brain for weeks after the read, if not longer. It takes time to wrap one's head around his world and language, and his execution is flawless.
This book is at pleat as important as Stranger in a Strange Land.
10/10 Worth the read
