"An outrageous combination of cyberpunk tropes, sophisticated linguistics theory, and postmodernist satire, Snow Crash is set in a near-future America where government has broken down and just about everything is done by franchise. The main character, Hiro Protagonist, a.k.a. the Deliverator, is a genius hacker and samurai warrior, but he makes his living delivering pizzas for the Mafia. When a deadly disease, the snow crash virus, begins to take out hackers and threatens virtual reality itself, Hiro is the man to tame it" (Barron, Anatomy of Wonder II-1077).

"The action, and there's a lot of noisy action, is powered by a conspiracy involving a Secret History of the last 4000 years, the Tower of Babel, a cult predating the Babylonians, and much else . Knowing and acerbic, a dazzling hyperkinetic dance down the mean streets of cyberspace and back up again into the sunlight." - Paul McAuley, Interzone. [Reference: Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-1077.

First edition, first printing, of the author's breakthrough novel, inscribed by him on the title page, "To Chris, best wishes, Neal S". This seminal work of science fiction, in which Stephenson invents "the Metaverse" and popularizes the term "avatar", is rare inscribed. A Silicon Valley favourite, Snow Crash is a cyberpunk novel that has prophesied, inspired, and critiqued a staggering array of modern technology. "The Metaverse isn't the only element of Snow Crash that has earned [Stephenson] a reputation as a tech Nostradamus. He's credited with predicting everything from our addiction to portable technology to the digitization of, well, everything" (Robinson). Following the exploits of the aptly named Hiro Protagonist, self-professed "Last of the Freelance Hackers" and "Greatest swordfighter in the world", Snow Crash navigates an anarcho-capitalist dystopia in which an elite few "control society because they have this semimystical ability to speak magic computer languages". The book explores digital currencies, mobile computing, and virtual realities, and has influenced the Google Earth creators and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as Jeff Bezos, who hired Stephenson as a futurist for his space company, Blue Origin. Snow Crash ranks alongside William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984) as one of the most influential and prescient works of cyberpunk.
