I agree with most here, Snowcrash is by far one of my favorite books and beats the pants off most cyberpunk I've read to date. Funny enough is the name of the main character; Hiro Protagonist, I thought this was strange at first but funny nonetheless. This book got me hooked on Stephenson, so I read quite a few of his other works. I had a little trouble with Crypto at first, but eventually it found it's pace; not too sure about his latest, like Quicksilver. We'll see.

Bottom line: If you like techno scifi/cyberpunk and haven't read Snowcrash yet... read it, you won't be disappointed.
