I’m not gonna lie, I found Snowcrash so enjoyable it reignited my hope for the next Cyberpunk and Shadowrun novels, that dark humour of being a parody like a Shaun Of The Dead can put pleasantly punk fuel on the low coals of a previous roaring fire for me.

I'm glad someone does! I simply don't think I'm very well equipped to do it- I know I'm missing tons of context and feel out of my element. Sometimes, I feel like the best I can do is say "That was cool." Which I don't think makes for very good criticism.

Also, I’ve always felt Bateau was in love with the Major, but that such a love could never be possible (or reciprocated). This feeling is even stronger in #2. Lord only knows how the animators managed to make a man with no eyes express such emotion in his face.

This quote from the book really hit me, and seemed to capture a lot of what was happening around me at the time I read/ listened to it. “The pain, so unexpected and undeserved, had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn’t hate the cabinet door, I hated my life… My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count on nothing.” Also, I loved that bit about impersonating a narc!

1:29:05 wasn’t it Cayce Pollard’s boyfriend that made the jack moves? “She's down for a jack move. She'd never really been sure what Donny had meant when he'd say that; he said it when he was angry, or frustrated, and she's both. Jack moves. Context, with Donny, seemed to indicate that these were either deliberate but extremely lateral, thus taking the competition or opponent by surprise. Maybe it had to be improvisational and completely of the moment. East Lansing Zen.” Pattern Recognition

@@countxero13 “The internet [is] turning itself inside out. One of the characters in Spook Country says, “cyberspace is everting.” I think it has everted considerably more since Spook Country was published. What seems to be happening is that it is becoming something we won’t talk about, because it will have colonized everything. It was fun to have my little neologism “cyberspace” turn into a word that people use to describe something real. But what I’ve always been most interested in is how it would disappear… I think it’s starting to go out, because it is no longer describing what is happening. When people started using “cyberspace” to describe their life experience, it was always over there. It was somewhere else. It was behind the screen of your computer. It was an nominal space. Now it’s not like that at all. We all move constantly, literally and physically, through its coordinates. We look at the Victorians, and for some reason they had a need to deny that sex existed. I think that when we are the Victorians, people will be looking back at us and saying that for some reason they had a need to distinguish between what they thought of as “the real” and “the virtual.””
