The name has to be a reference to Snow Crash.

  WARNING: "Snow Crash" is a comedy! Over the years people mentioned the book in comments about metaverses and VR. But nobody said it was a comedy. I was buying it with the expectation of getting some serious science fiction about a topic I'm interested in. Instead it starts off with some pizza delivery science fiction parody.

    I think you need to listen to reason. Snow Crash is serious business!

      Reason is capitalised, unless you mean actual reason.

    Humoristic books can be also the poignant. Humour does not invalidate an authors observation of human condition.

    Serious science fiction does not need to be bereft of comedy. Satirical science fiction, like many of the works of Vonnegut, are hilarious and ludicrous, but no less science fiction for that fact.

      I've read comedy science fiction and horror. I don't have a problem with it per se. I just haven't expected it in this case and it was really stupid.

  So American pop-sci-fi, not the ancient civilization?
