This is a Seth’s Picks episode, the very highly regarded, though not much honored at the time Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. It’s like Ready Player One, but without all the references or terrible writing. (It’s not really like RPO at all, and that’s a very good thing.)
This is one of my shorter episodes, but I put that down to my failures as a host, not of my guest or the work being discussed.
Thanks for the interesting discussion! I had read this long ago and enjoyed many aspects of it, although I did find the slang, tons of characters, and other things a bit hard to follow.
I was surprised that neither you nor your guest mentioned Second Life, that software program that got very popular in the early 2000’s. I tried it, too, but just never got into it and it was also pretty time-consuming.
But I may skim Snow Crash, thanks to this episode!
I never did play Second Life, never even tried Sim City!
