Crypto's ending is still better than Snow Crash's (though I prefer SC overall). Someone sent me a great meme yesterday showing the back half of the horse fully drawn and the front half barely a stick figure of a horse and the back half said "Stephenson starting a book" and the front was "Stephenson finishing a book." I dunno if I've ever seen a truer meme in my life.
- antiterra 5y agoI love the first chapter of Snow Crash, it brilliantly establishes the world, the tone and (the) Protagonist. There’s a breathless pacing that makes it incredibly fun to read aloud. The rest I can do without.
- runevault 5y agoIMO you could teach an entire semester long course on world building, pacing, prose, etc of an opening just on the first chapter of Snow Crash. And some people are not into the language stuff and the like. I can understand how it would miss a lot of people. I found it strangely engaging.
