Don't get me wrong, I fucking love Snow Crash, but let's be honest with ourselves: it's basically a dopey Schwazenegger-esque action movie for the IQ 115 crowd, in book form. We're not talking about something with ton of depth or philosophical complexity. I think HBO can manage.

Philosophy-lite is the last two chapters of bibliomania isn't it?

Every Neal Stephenson book rehearses the same ethos. He's consistently asking "but what is consciousness, anyway" in the end.
