Data Dumpage
Well snow crash is about a computer hacker name Hero Protagonist, who is a pizza delivery boy in the day time and at night he is a computer hacker. The internet that he logs into is called the metaverse, which is you put on goggle's and it takes you into a diffrent world which you are represented by an avatar. When you are controlling you avatar in the metaverse you are still concious of the "real world." He is a well known hacker in the metaverse and he hangs out in this club called the black sun, which is only for the professional hackers like Hero. Hero is in a relationship with a girl named Junita. I am kind of enoying this book, at the same time the plot is a little to scifi for me, but we will see how the book goes.

Jerry,
ReplyDeleteGreat post (the best I've read thus far), but you can write even more. I like the way you move from plot summary to a discussion of your own reactions to the events that have occurred so far, but I'd like to know more about what you mean by "sci-fi' (what you think this genre is, what you like about it, what's off-putting, how this particular book does (or does not) subscribe to the conventions of other sci-fi books you've encountered in the past, etc.).
