Haven’t read it. The man can’t end a story to save his life and his prose is pretty basic, but damn foes he have some good lines. He’s got this genuine enthusiasm for everything he’s saying, especially when he wants to bring in a new concept, and that gets me hooked every time. You can tell he loves his characters.

Snow Crash is a genre-defining classic.
And yet I will never forgive him for “Hiro Protagonist”
