Storyline
Set in the near future, the U.S. exists as a patchwork of corporate-franchise city-states, and private enterprise and the mafia controls everything. A computer virus is manifested as a drug called Snow Crash that is transmitted visually from computer screens to unsuspecting users, frying their brains. Hiro Protagonist, a computer hacker/samurai swordsman/pizza delivery driver, investigates and tries to stop the takeover of postmodern civilization.
