Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

I don't often post mid-book about somthing but I couldn't wait. I followed this link from Kottke about a Neal Stephenson interview (kottke.org) and after reading the interview, rushed on down to the bookstore since Amazon helpfully told me one was on the shelves there. I also wasn't quite up for the big trilogy investment for a new author so went back a few years to Snow Crash.

What a great book! I haven't read science fiction in a long while, with probably William Gibson's Pattern Recognition being the most recent. This has all that I like in a book: great action, interesting characters, and moral/philosophical questions and issues that can start quite the discussion.
