Snow Crash

I found this a real slog. Easier to put down, than pick up. I've read quite a few books in-between starting and finishing this.

70+ sections/chapters - lots of ideas, references, certainly plenty of thoughts sparked. Technology, societal futurology, politics, pharma, etc. language as an idea virus (biblical/historical precedents)

However, it felt like a relatively thin plot.
It has the obligatory; a hero, a heroine - an anti-hero, who is possibly a hero - depending upon which side you stand on. An obligatory sex scene, etc.
