Snow Crash 

by Neal Stephenson

   Snow Crash is a 1992 sci-fi novel by Neal Stephenson. The novel highlights domains of study including dialect, history, religion, software engineering, and folklore. The book is forged in a future that appears to be outside and natural all in the meantime. We then get introduced to Hiro, the protagonist, who is a driver for pizza delivery in Los Angeles in the 21st century – especially for the American Mafia – and he is also a programmer. Through the plot we realize that the book navigates between three main themes: the American society, religion and technology.

   The plot is developed in a removed future where innovation progressed to such a state, to the point that the natural issue and the mechanical parts ended up one. A few characters in the novel turned out to be so devoured by their own creations that they gradually become one of them – bound by wires and links and limited to homes and vehicles. The time span stays vague and where the setting is implied as being America. 
   This reminds me of Donna Harraway's take on the same subject. She redefines the 'boundaries between human and animal, animal-human and machines in which the term 'Cyborg' is expressed. Neal does the same as he builds creatures that are influenced leading to developed animals that are half creature and half robots. He highlights the fact that those transformations and unifications are bound to happen and that it is the inescapable future of mankind and technology. The difference is, in contrast to Donna, he aims to regulate and/or control those combinations as it may end up going wild. Neil wants to protect mankind as he accepts the changes whilst Donna focuses on the advantages of those changes.

   The storyteller calls attention to that a Man is as often as possible besieged with advertisements promoting different items and that it is extremely unlikely a typical individual could escape them. The general population wind up in a snare, indicated things that could enhance their lives and being informed that without them its absolutely impossible they can be upbeat. Therefore, the general public introduced in the novel is keen on getting to be as rich as could reasonably be expected and on collecting however much riches as could be expected in a brief timeframe, feeling that those things will bring them 'happiness'.
