Some viruses infect machines. Others rewrite the mind.
In a future Los Angeles carved into corporate enclaves and outlaw zones, Hiro Protagonist splits his life between two worlds. Offline, he delivers pizza for a powerful franchise and fends off trouble with samurai precision. Online, in the vast Metaverse, he is a legendary hacker with access to digital realms governed by code and control.
When a mysterious substance called Snow Crash begins crippling users both virtually and physically, Hiro uncovers a conspiracy rooted in ancient language, viral myth, and modern power. Joined by Y.T., a fearless young courier, he races across collapsing systems and chaotic streets to stop a threat that bridges the real and the virtual.
Snow Crash is visionary, kinetic cyberpunk that reimagines how information shapes humanity.
