Snow Crash

By Neal Stephenson - Read: July 15, 2022 - Rating: 8/10

The pioneering literary work on the Metaverse, written in 1992. There's quite a nerdy aspect to the book, which is gracefully combined with religion, linguistics, computer science and Sumerian mythology.

The vocabulary initially felt outdated, but the story became more interesting over time. I enjoyed Stephenson's writing style and the lively dynamics surrounding his characters.

We often believe that sci-fi writers predict the future, but perhaps it's the other way around: people draw inspiration from sci-fi to shape the present.
