I've stopped being able to enjoy "Snow Crash" now, sadly (also by Stephenson – used to be a favourite of mine). Already there he very very clearly and skilfully played with tropes and expectations of exposition and world-building in that specific genre of novel i.e. cyberpunk.

That was perhaps the thing I loved most about that book (Snow crash). Feeling his delight at manipulating us, his skill at doing it, and the delight I felt at seeing him doing it, knowing he could see me seeing him, and just, ach, wonderful stuff :)

I have Snow Crash somewhere, I think... Have not read it yet.

And the main character's name is Hiro (Hiroshige) Protagonist (AKA The Deliverator) - just to give you a feel for the level of self-awareness pulsing through the book...
#justsayin! -
He starts off as a pizza delivery boy for the mafia...
