Jim's Review
🐛
The main character is literally named Hiro Protagonist, delivers pizza for the Mafia, and carries samurai swords. If that doesn't sell you, Jim doesn't know what will. Stephenson predicted the metaverse decades before Zuckerberg tried to make it a thing. The pacing is breakneck, the ideas are massive, and the action is absolutely bonkers. This worm burrowed through all 480 pages in two days flat. Four worms — cyberpunk at its most gonzo.
