Snow Crash

Sergey Brin Co-Founder/GoogleBrin said he is a big sci-fi fan, and Stephenson's acclaimed 1992 novel "Snow Crash" is one of his favorites. The book "was really 10 years ahead of its time," Brin said. "It kind of anticipated what's going to happen, and I find that really interesting." (Source)

Adam Savage It's a tough call because I prefer other books of [this author]. But [this book] is so important within the history of science fiction. (Source)

Marvin Liao Partner/500 StartupsMy list would be (besides the ones I mentioned in answer to the previous question) both business & Fiction/Sci-Fi and ones I personally found helpful to myself. The business books explain just exactly how business, work & investing are in reality & how to think properly & differentiate yourself. On the non-business side, a mix of History & classic fiction to understand people, philosophy to make sense of life and Science fiction to picture what the future could be like (not always utopian).

Brianna Wu What is you favorite book of all time and why? Mine is Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson. It’s the deep characterization and sardonic portrayal of the United States that makes every page a joy to read. (Source)

Brandon Stanton I love [this book]. (Source)

Bradley Voytek In this book there’s a computer virus that can also jump into being a biological virus but only for people who are hackers, who natively speak binary computer code. (Source)

Aleks Krotoski The author creates an extraordinary vision of an all-encompassing virtual environment in which we will interact though avatars. (Source)
