London: Roc, 1993. First U.K. Edition. 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.
