I didn't like it. Preferred Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End with similar themes yet much less dystopic.

Yes, good book, but out of date. How many snow crashes have you seen? I can recall triggering them on retro computers like a Color Computer 3 running OS-9, and a Sun 3, but since then, hardware seems to have changed in a fundamental way that doesn't allow snow crashes.

Of course, and as I recall, it had Perl code in it. Classic SciFi in the sense that you take reality, break one and only one rule, and see what happens as you move through time.
