I'm surprised that Snow Crash hasn't been adapted yet. As others commented, most of Neuromancer's plot has become recycled by what came after. But Snow Crash is to cyberpunk what The Boys is to superhero movies: a satirical take on corporate America. This should be especially popular at our current moment with the impending collapse of Meta's Verse (I refuse to let them own "metaverse")

>I'm surprised that Snow Crash hasn't been adapted yet It's because there's a pedo rape scene in the book that's central to the plot, and the book itself doesn't disapprove of it in any way. Neither do Neal Stephenson's fans, apparently[1]. The extra creepy factor is that the pedo rape scene is written by the (then) 33-year-old man from the perspective of the 15-year-old girl who doesn't see it as bad thing. I loved the book, but I wish ol' Neal did a second edition with someone giving adults lasting after the 15-year-old in the book as little as look disapproval to hint that, maybe, sexualizing 15 year olds is as bad as glorifying corporations.
