Arguably Neal Stephenson's best novel, this fast paced thriller races through a bizarre near-future America full of crazy cults, franchise governments, designer drugs and the Metaverse.

A virtual reality successor to the internet, the Metaverse is one of the best sci-fi concepts I've read about. The vision is so strong that during the first internet boom people were starting companies to build what this book described.

Not as great as Neal Stephenson's other books, but still definitely worth the read!

I read this book during my vacation last month. It's a fun romp through a 90's-style vision of what the Internet would be. An easy read.
