My Favorite Line from Snow Crash
Yeah, I’m reading Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash for the first time. All I have to say is if you haven’t read it and are even remotely interested in Sci-fi/Cyberpunk, or your friend’s ex-boyfriend’s mom’s weird yoga teacher knows a guy who’s interested in Sci-fi/Cyberpunk you need to go buy this book immediately.
My favorite line so far:
After that–after Hiro gets onto his motorcycle, and the New South Africans get into their all-terrain pickups, and The Enforcers get into their slick black Enforcer mobiles, and they all go screaming out onto the highway –after that it’s just a chase scene.
Ok, so taken out of context it’s pretty lame – this line ends an intense, minutely detailed sword fight and subsquent escape by Hiro. Eh, you’ll just have to read the damn book, but hopefully it gives you a good dose of the satire and black humor that pervaids this masterfully written novel.
