Snow Crash

This is a snow crash of a book to be honest. A bunch of cool ideas, characters that appear bad-ass but then turn out to exist only in order to progress the plot, pages and pages and pages of info-dumping. At one point the Librarian is info-dumping to Hiro, and at another point Hiro is info-dumping to Uncle Enzo and others ... and the two characters sound identical.

I would love to see someone take this world and write a smaller, more human, story set in it.
