I prefer the Bill Hicks reference of making it mandatory for everyone to smoke weed so the only people on the roads are Domino's delivery

I have recently re-read Snow Crash but, lacking the context (since I live in a difference country), I missed how closely the setting in the book parodied what is described in this article. For instance, the boss of the pizza chain being ex-military was an important plot point later in the book, but I didn't know that the real-life boss being parodied was also ex-military.

i heard snow crash was a great book so i start reading it. immediatley it gets deep into pizza, the deliverator, the extreme attention to on time delivery, universities that specialize in franchising a pizza shop

and then a little farther on you learn part of the book takes place in the virtual internet world. and i’m absolutely sure the pizza stuff is all part of this virtual world…

one of my favorite books

Hiro/the deliverator, YT, and most of the characters inhabit meatspace and "jack in" to the metaverse. Plenty is virtual but the dystopian pizza delivery is real

The funnest opening scene of any cyberpunk book. Perfect for a film treatment.

Directed by Neill Blomkamp

Hopefully not. He made District 9 then every single following film he's made has been from mediocre to garbage.

Chappie was awesome and Elysium was at least entertaining. Anyway, I was trying to think whose aesthetic a dystopian but wacky futuristic tech movie would suit best

Snow Crash was the first thought that came to mind when I saw the title of this post
