	Snow Crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although there are public-access Metaverse terminals in Reality, using them carries a social stigma among Metaverse denizens, in part because of the low visual quality of their avatars (the Metaverse representation of a user).
		In the Metaverse, status is a function of two things: access to restricted environments (such as the Black Sun, an exclusive Metaverse club) and technical acumen (often demonstrated by the sophistication of one's avatar).
		The setting is a near-future dystopian version of Los Angeles, where franchising, individual sovereignty and automobiles reign supreme (along with drug trafficking, violent crime, and traffic congestion).

	The Metaverse
		You can’t just materialize in the Metaverse, you must drop in on a Port and then you can use the Street or hop on a monorail or go wherever you want, or are allowed to go.
		If there is a war in the Metaverse no real fluid blood will be shed and no dog tags need to be sent home to grieving mothers because experiences like that aren’t really happening, but are acted out inside computers connected to the Metaverse from all over the real world.
		The Metaverse is not a real place, but it does provoke real thoughts, emotions, actions, and excitement in the people goggled in.

	Amazon.com: Snow Crash (Bantam Spectra Book): Books: Neal Stephenson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		He owns a futon, two awesome Japanese swords, and a laptop computer, where he stays "jacked in" to the "Metaverse" a lot of the time, where he is the world's greatest swordfighter.
		The metaverse was a very interesting concept - and not as far off as it seems.
		I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book, as it dealt with a lot of the use of the Metaverse, but it seemed as though Stephenson got away from that in the last couple of chapters, and the ending was a little flat for me.
