First Printing. Octavo (23cm); original beige card wrappers, titled in black and metallic red on spine and front cover; [vi],440pp. Signed by the author on the title page. Trivial wear to extremities, with some mild crinkling to paper at crown; a fresh, very Near Fine copy, with the publisher's publicity letter folded and laid in. "An outrageous combination of cyberpunk tropes, sophisticated linguistics theory, and postmodernist satire, Snow Crash is set in a near-future America where government has broken down and just about everything is done by franchise. The main character, Hiro Protagonist, a.k.a. the Deliverator, is a genius hacker and samurai warrior, but he makes his living delivering pizzas for the Mafia. When a deadly disease, the snow crash virus, begins to take out hackers and threatens virtual reality itself, Hiro is the man to tame it" (Barron, Anatomy of Wonder II-1077). A key work in the cyberpunk genre, nominated for both the British Science Fiction Association Award and Arthur C. Clarke Award.
