Hiro Protagonist war mal Programmierer, aber seit auch hier die Konzerne alles gleichgeschaltet haben, zieht er jeden Bullshit-Job vor: Pizza-Auslieferer für die Mafia. Oder Information Broker für die ehemalige CIA.
Wichtiger als die echte Welt ist für ihn ohnehin das Metaverse, ein virtueller Ort, an dem sich die Menschen mit ihren selbst gestalteten Avataren treffen. Dort begegnet er auch zum ersten Mal der Droge »Snow Crash«. Das Besondere: Snow Crash ist ein Computervirus, der auch Menschen befallen kann. Zusammen mit seiner Partnerin Y. T. ermittelt Hiro – und kommt einer Verschwörung auf die Spur, die bis in die menschliche Vorgeschichte zurückreicht.

Work Description
Within the Metaverse, Hiro is offered a datafile named Snow Crash by a man named Raven who hints that it is a form of narcotic. Hiro's friend and fellow hacker Da5id views a bitmap image contained in the file which causes his computer to crash and Da5id to suffer brain damage in the real world.
This is the future we now live where all can be brought to life in the metaverse and now all can be taken away. Follow on an adventure with Hiro and YT as they work with the mob to uncover a plot of biblical proportions.
