Snow Crash

Snow crash was a really fun read to be honest before reading the story I really didn't have any idea what the cyber punk genre was all about. I liked how this story dealt a lot with avatars and how they were like the best hackers ever created. I also found it interesting how they had a different kind of Avatar for each different kind of human. The messed up part about this whole thing is that the only people that benefits  from the Avatars are the wealthy and thats it. In this time frame the only people that gets a good Avatar are the rich or the people that are just great at hacking but if your not one of the two your pretty much just left out the loop.  It really places you into the future to see how not everything is organic anymore, and also it makes you think about the world we live in today and how things are slowly but for sure going in that direction.
