Reviews

"Brilliantly realized... Stephenson turns out to be an engaging guide to an onrushing tomorrow." -- "The New York Times Book Review,"
"Snow Crash takes on a whole slew of nasty contemporary trends and extrapolates them hilariously into a pessimistic and unlikely newar future... this is one book to chill out with this summer." -- "Mondo" 2000.
"Stylish noir extrapolation becomes gloriously witty social satire... savor Stephenson's delicious prose and cheerfully impudent wit. Cyberpunk isn't dead -- it has just (belatedly) developed a sense of humor." --"Locus,"
"A fantastic, slam-bang-overdrive, supersurrealistic, comic-spooky whirl through a tomorrow that is already happening. Neal Stephenson is intelligent, perceptive, hip and will become a major force in American writing." -- Timothy Leary.
"A cross between "Neuromancer" and Thomas Pynchon's "Vineland," This is no mere hyperbole." -- "San Francisco Bay Guardian,"
"Fast-forwarded free-style mall mythology for the 21st Century." -- William Gibson.

The 500 numbered hardcover copies have already sold out pre-pub, but collectors still have a chance to snag the 26 lettered hand-bound copies of the limited edition of Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson's 1992 cyberpunk tour de force, with new jacket art and interior illustrations by Patrick Arrasmith. The hand-bound edition, signed by the author, includes additional art and a custom tray case. The price is steep, but Stephenson's vision of a thoroughly wired near-future where the computer geek is king has inspired plenty of techies who may find this a worthwhile reason to cash in some dot-com stock.
