c0mpiled-lit: Snow Crash

Before there was “AI agent,” “metaverse,” “crypto rails,” or “internet culture,” there was Snow Crash: a chaotic, funny, absurdly prescient novel about hackers, corporate city-states, private security, avatars, ancient language, pizza delivery, and the strange feeling that the future is being built by people who half-understand what they are unleashing.

For this c0mpiled-lit session, we’ll read Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash as both science fiction and technical archaeology. What did it get right about virtual worlds, networked identity, privatized power, memes, language, and software as infrastructure? What feels dated? What feels uncomfortably current?

Come for the book. Stay for the conversation.

We’ll have lunch, talk through the novel’s biggest ideas, and use it as a lens for the systems we’re building now.
