minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 months agoSnow Crash is a very good book by Neal Stephenson. The post is just about an invented parody of the genre. Check out William Gibsons Neuromancer (which mote or less coined the genre), it sticks maybe more to OPs post IMO anyways.
