Snow Crash is on Google Books
Someone was going around tagging this article to point out how it needs citations, especially for many assertions which are based on the book itself and should be easy to cite directly to pages in the book.

I don't have the time to do this right now, but I want to point out that Snow Crash is already available on Google Books. So it should be possible to set up citations with direct links to the relevant Google Books pages, as I have done for many other Wikipedia articles. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:30, 31 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and took care of adding direct citations to the novel on Google Books. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:17, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Not verified in body fixes
The opening line of this article--"Like many of Stephenson's novels, it covers history, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, religion, computer science, politics, cryptography, memetics, and philosophy"--has the tag "not verified in body." It seems these thematic suggestions could easily be backed up by a link to the description of the book on the current Australian publisher's website. You'll see here that the publisher describes the book as having themes of "linguistics, religion, computer science, politics, philosophy, cryptography and the future of pizza delivery." This should verify at least the majority of the title paragraph's assertions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.188.142.254 (talk) 22:30, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Improving the synopsis?
Don't want to get *too* meta, but the synopsis is a bit lacking. Would better science fiction editors than me be able to take a look? Theheezy (talk) 08:52, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The synopsis is brief in the usual style of this encyclopedia, but I don't find it to be lacking. A verbose or complex summary is not required, the story is a mystery, so recapping it after the fact can be concise if you stick to just the plot. Exploring and explaining the background, the technology, and the themes, does require greater length but that is better left to other sections of the article. -- 109.76.136.1 (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
