First Impression, a trade paperback original. Octavo (21.75cm); original pictorial card wrappers; [iv],440,[4]pp. Signed by the author on the title page. Light wear to extremities, a few faint stress creases around the lower wrapper corners, with subtle tanning to text edges; contents clean, with the spine unbroken; Very Good+. "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. The UK first is elusive, particularly signed.
