Snowcrash

Neal Stephenson

"Well, a friend of mine had actually recommended Neil Stephenson to me. She was a good friend of mine, and she knows that I'm into kind of like, you know, a lot of cyberpunk, kind of futuristic sci-fi stuff, and this is exactly what was wrong with it; it takes place in some - someone ends up creating this virus called Snow Crash, and basically what it does is it attacks hackers with a - because hackers are so familiar, they've worked for computers for so long, they're so good with numbers and binary code. This basically penetrates their - it goes into their nervous system through their mind.

Usually the genres that I read are more - kind of like fantasy, like a Lord of the Rings-style setting. I mean, it would be considered sci-fi, but sort of like the Middle Ages, with like magic and dragons. But I also like the techno-goth future sci-fi type stuff, like Star Trek, Star Wars. Those are mostly the genres that I'm into. Anyone who's into fast pace, like I said, computers or sci-fi kind of techno-punk future, I'd recommend it to anyone like that."
