About this Item
First Impression, a trade paperback original. Octavo (21.75cm); original pictorial card wrappers; [iv],440,[4]pp. A few pinpoint rubbed spots, trivial wear to heel, else very Near Fine, appearing unread, and without the usual toning to the text edges. "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). A key work in the cyberpunk genre, nominated for both the British Science Fiction Association Award and Arthur C. Clarke Award. Seller Inventory # 7140
