Snow Crash

I missed out on Snow Crash when it first came out. It was one of those books I kept hearing referenced, but just hadn't gotten around to listening to. And so, with my trial of Audible, I figured I would take advantage of the credit offered to me and snagged it. First off, let's get to the point of the Audible version. The performer did an excellent job of giving the different characters their own voice. It didn't always work perfectly, but I was still very impressed at how well he managed to create a character for each person in the book.

Regarding the story, while I doubt the future depicted will ever come to be in the exact details of the book, the trends described aren't actually that far off. The mixing of ancient religion and future technology was fascinating. Honestly, this is a book that could very easily feel extremely dated, but manages to actually feel quite relevant.
