      The Metaverse is cyberspace home to avatars and software daemons, where anything and just about everything goes. Newly available on the Street - the Metaverse's main drag - is Snow Crash, a cyberdrug. Trouble is Snow Crash is also a computer virus - and something more. Because once taken it infects the person behind the avatar.

      "This Snow Crash thing--is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?"
      Juanita shrugs. "What''s the difference?"


      The only relief from the sea of logos is within the well-guarded borders of the Burbclaves. Is it any wonder that most sane folks have forsaken the real world and chosen to live in the computer-generated universe of virtual reality?

      In a major city, the size of a dozen Manhattans, is a domain of pleasures limited only by the imagination. But now a strange new computer virus called Snow Crash is striking down hackers everywhere, leaving an unlikely young pizza delivery man as humankind''s last best hope.

      The perfect cyberpunk sci-fi read, Snow Crash is an equally worthy successor to William Gibson''s Neuromancer and predecessor to Ernest Cline''s Ready Player One.
