Basically, if you've read Snow Crash you'll be disappointed, and if you haven't read Snow Crash, you should just read it instead.

I tend to agree. Although, in Snow Crash, not much happens in the metaverse. Most of the action is in the real world.

I was hoping for a Snow Crash movie. That project has been in and out of development hell for years. (It would have to be heavily censored. "Mr Lee's Hong Kong" would annoy China, "White Columns" would annoy the woke people, and evangelical Christians being a front for a cult created to support a scam would annoy the Trump voters.)

Which is one of its insightful points.

“White Columns” would not only not offend anyone woke, but satisfy their assumptions.
