While I love SNOW CRASH, I do think it'd fundamentally flawed. The worst
for me is that in a fictional universe with a VR system capable of
displaying anything, the crux of the book revolves around a couple of
characters having a long, long discussion about Sumerian history.
A: "<blah blah blah blah blah Sumeria>"
B: "And then what?"
A: "<blah blah blah blah....>"
B: etc
It's been at least a decade since I read it, but wasn't that also the
explanation for how the virus worked?
