In some ways its hard to believe Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash (1992/2011) was published 30 years ago; with its mix of #cyberpunk & shoot-em-up, allied to a central part of the story being about refugees 'invading' other countries, it all seems rather timely. Of course, its familiar, as its been so influential on subsequent #scifi, but apart from some occasional oddities (no flash drives, some odd gender dynamics) its still sure footed.
