Amazon.co.uk Review
Decades into the future, near the ancient city of Shanghai, a brilliant nanotechnologist named John Percival Hackworth has broken the rigorous moral code of his tribe, the powerful neo-Victorians, by making an illicit copy of a state-of-the-art interactive device called "A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer". Seattle Weekly called Stephenson's Snow Crash "The most influential book since ... Neuromancer."
Review
A brilliant, tricky, twenty-first-century version of Pygmalion (Guardian )
A wealth of hip, social and technological riffs, stories-within-stories and not a few good jokes. Invest (Time Out )
The Quentin Tarantino of postcyberpunk science fiction. Stephenson has upped the form's ante with rambunctious glee (Village Voice )
A new era in science fiction. People will walk around slack-jawed for days and reemerge with a radically redefined sense of reality (Bruce Sterling )
Establishes Stephenson as a powerful voice for the cyber age. At once whimsical, satirical, and cautionary (USA Today )
