Snow Crash

As soon as I read the back of this book, all I could think was Ready Player One, which I'm not sure if Ready Player One falls into the same category, but it's also got an alternate technological world to live in. Once I got past that, it was nice to see the main character be a half black, have Asian male (shout out to inclusivity!) though as the book is a little dated, there is a little bit Japanese stereotyping. The dated also comes through with some of the computer techy stuff, but that comes with this genre, I suppose. On that note, I felt that some of the techy stuff was a little too techy (kudos to it all being real and researched though), super long explanations. But I guess you have to understand what’s going on. Which I didn’t really, until about halfway in. I wish there was a little bit more of the villain, as he was everything I enjoy in a villain, and I also wish there was a little bit more action on Hiro’s part rather than just research. And then the ending was kind of jumbled and felt like it just stopped, which is exactly how RPO felt too.
