Episode 28: In this month’s episode the Escape the Earth crew discuss the book that named the Metaverse—Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. We’ll struggle to explain Stephenson's complex and groundbreaking cyberpunk work, delight in all its crazy worldbuilding elements, and hold it up to the light of Elissa and Mary Elizabeth’s feminist critique—all the while trying to figure out whether or not Hiro Protagonist, the book’s samurai sword wielding pizza Deliverator, is a “good guy.”
