Sylvie’s comments from the Three Mugs Book Club group.

2. In the book, a virus is spread by showing hackers a bunch of code they don't understand which resembles TV snow. It then takes over their language centers and causes brain damage. There's a debate among authors about whether it is possible for information without comprehension can actually get into your mind. What di you think?

As we finish the last half of Snow Crash, a couple of questions come to mind: 1. what about this book contributes to its reputation as an important cyberpunk novel?

Hi friends! We’ll keep reading Snow Crash and discuss it Oct. 1. The next poll is already ready to go. Let’s complete our voting by next Saturday, September 6. If you didn’t get the chance to nominate a book, feel free to write in your choice as you vote. Others voting after you will also be able to vote on your write-in choice.

We met to discuss the first half of the book and had an interesting convo on cyberpunk. we compared the characters and the dialogue and decided the dialog could have used more originality. people are liking how he builds toward mini climaxes with the details and action.

Hi friends! Just a reminder that we'll be discussing the first half of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash on Tuesday at Three Mugs. Let me know if you can make it!

We meet on Tuesday Aug 27 at 7 pm in Three Mugs.

I wanted to share some excerpts of interviews with Octavia Butler that I found. In her own words, she describes the writing of her novel Kindred and how she was inspired.
