It's national read-a-book day in Canada, and I'm reading some Snow Crash before bed. Thinking of how, even in the first third of the book, so many things from this 1992 publication are seen today.

I'm reading Snow Crash for the first time. @nealstephenson.bsky.social .... I wish I'd read you earlier in my life. The essays I'd have written on this #book! Chapter 5 and counting.
