I've read Snow Crash yearly since I discovered the book some 14 years ago. I guess that's how I deal with the fact that Stephenson often doesn't know how to end a novel. I ached for a VR world like the Metaverse for a long time back then, but of course everything has always fallen well short of the mark. Maybe World of Warcraft came closest for me, to the degree I became immersed in Azeroth, but it was still obviously not the dream.
