Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson is a classic science fiction book. It contains futuristic concepts married with historical ideas. It’s the first Stephenson book that was a hit and was the start of 7 consecutive best sellers. It’s rides the end of the cyberpunk wave of books (started by Neuromancer
) and was one of the capstones on that style of book. But most of all, it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

Stephen Bury review
Stephen Bury released two books, Interfaceand The Cobweb
, in the mid 1990s. They were both political thrillers with a technical edge. It later came out the Stephen Bury was a pen name for science fiction writer Neal Stephenson and J. Fredrick George (and came out later that J Fredrick George was a pen name for academic George Jewsbury who is Stephenson’s uncle). These book are often overlooked in by Stephenson fans, but are well worth checking out.
