Ep 2; Snow Crash and my ideal VR Society

from Ooh Shiny! · host Sleepyhead89

Soooo... With the some free time on my hands, I've decided to start a book I meant to read a long time ago, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. My friend JoJo recommended it to me originally, I bought it, never got round to reading it unfortunately. I say unfortunately because having given the first few chapters a whirl, I'm thoroughly enjoying it!  I'll give some context, and then some comparisons before eventually explainng what my ideal VR scenrio would be and how it could potentially work in the current situation should things get even worse. I hope you enjoy the pod, and if you do pick up one of the three options mentioned in there then please let me know what you thought! Also if you could leave a review (preferably five stars, however I do value honesty over praise lol) it would mean alot to me, allowing me to streamline future content and make the delivery that extra bit special for you all to enjoy! Feel free to follow any of the social media or gaming links below to keep up with everything! -LINKS- INSTA: Sleepychris89 MIXER: https://mixer.com/SleepyheadsGaming TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/Sleepyheadplays FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/sleepyheadsgaming
