In Snow Crash, did you enjoy ...

... a fast-moving, goal-driven cyberpunk adventure?

Neuromancer by William Gibson

If you loved Hiro and Y.T.'s high-stakes mission to unravel the mystery of the Snow Crash virus, you'll find Case's mission in Neuromancer just as riveting. The relentless pacing, shifting loyalties, and desperate hacking jobs keep the tension high as Case navigates the digital underworld to pull off the ultimate heist.

... a hard-edged ensemble cast navigating a futuristic, neon-soaked world?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If you enjoyed the dynamic between Hiro, Y.T., and the memorable supporting characters in Snow Crash, you'll be drawn into the gritty world of Takeshi Kovacs and his allies and enemies. Altered Carbon delivers a diverse cast with clashing motives, all colliding in a high-tech, noir future.

... morally complex protagonists in a dazzling, high-tech future?

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

If you found Hiro's questionable choices and the ambiguous ethics of Snow Crash compelling, The Quantum Thief will hook you with the thief Jean le Flambeur, whose loyalties and morality are always in flux. The book’s future society is full of characters who blur the lines between right and wrong, making every alliance uncertain.

... humor, satire, and clever genre-bending wit?

Redshirts by John Scalzi

If the sharp, satirical humor and genre-savvy banter of Snow Crash made you grin, you’ll love Redshirts. Scalzi lampoons sci-fi tropes with laugh-out-loud dialogue and meta commentary, following Ensign Dahl and his crew as they realize their universe might not be what it seems.

... intricate, immersive worldbuilding in a near-future society?

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi

If the richly detailed Metaverse, cyber-laden cityscapes, and immersive worldbuilding of Snow Crash kept you turning pages, The Windup Girl will sweep you into a genetically engineered, climate-ravaged future Thailand. The novel’s layered societies, biotech, and cultural tensions create a setting as vivid and complex as anything Stephenson imagined.
