Haven’t read it. The man can’t end a story to save his life and his prose is pretty basic, but damn does he have some good lines. He’s got this genuine enthusiasm for everything he’s saying, especially when he wants to bring in a new concept, and that gets me hooked every time. You can tell he loves his characters.

Time is a physical entity that can be warped, but nobody is creating snaphsots of reality to travel back to and future is entirely a human concept.
Or, analogy to a river (although flawed): you can’t create a loop and expect it to still flow. But circumstances can make it flow slower or faster.

Snow Crash is a genre-defining classic.
And yet I will never forgive him for “Hiro Protagonist”
I vehemently disagree with many worlds theory. I think its a total mindfuck. However I do think that the future influences the present and the past.
I’m agnostic
Its for the best
