Snow Crash

by Neal Stephenson

In a near-future America fragmented into corporate enclaves, hacker-protagonist Hiro Protagonist navigates between physical reality and the Metaverse, a virtual world of limitless possibility. When a dangerous new drug called Snow Crash threatens both digital and biological consciousness, Hiro must unravel an ancient conspiracy rooted in Sumerian mythology. Neal Stephenson's breakneck techno-thriller predicted—and influenced—the digital age we now inhabit.
