 Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. - Anyone read that piece yet? https://image.nostr.build/031fc32755cc2256e30986ab40b52447f9094ec313442c2d954d46897c72fe5e.jpg  
 Only four times. It's my single favorite science fiction novel. 
 Nice, can’t wait to get going! 
 It’s a must-read! 
 Yes! I am starting today. 
 I read it in the mid 90s when it first came out. It still holds up really well. Neal Stephenson was a visionary. 
 “This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?” Juanita shrugs. “What's the difference?”

 Can recommend. 
 Is the cover image related to anything in the book?  
 One guy in X meant it is Zoroastrianism. 
 O I know it is a Zoroastrian symbol but I was just wondering why it's on this book?  Thanks 👍.  
 Yep, aside from the anti-whitism, not too bad. 
 About half way through. It's great. But stopped reading for more important books. Have to finish it though  
 It’s good.  I liked diamond age and anathem even more…and then he jumped the shark with seveneves and reamde 
 Yes, one of the best... a must, go ahead. 
 Only read it once on a vacation, but it was a super fun read - a great break from my normal non-fiction reads 
 Several times. It's really good. Se are Neuromancer, Daemon, and Freedom(TM)! Can anyone recommend something similar? 
 Couple of times at least. I love everything Neal Stephenson has written. Only a few left that I havent read yet 
 Yep. Classic. And ages well.
