When I read the Wikipedia article on cyberpunk, and the definition said it was often centered on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligences, and mega corporations, I knew this was exactly what I had been reading in Snow Crash.
As messed up as this fictional world in which Snow Crash takes place, it did get me thinking what if. A lot of the time this book got me thinking of almost a Batman/Spiderman cross, with Hiro being like two different people and all. But I really thought that it was more the same than different, I mean is there really such a thing as a bad ass pizza delivery boy? Also I know this is in a changed world, but the Mafia taking over pizza delivery, I think not.
