Description: Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, Signed, Deluxe 30th Anniversary Hardcover Edition Like New, Near Fine to Fine Condition. The dust jacket shows little to no visible wear and has a new archival-quality Mylar Protector. The boards are straight and square, with just a hint of gentle bumping on the edges or corners. The binding is still tight and the pages are clean and crisp, without creases, marks or tears. Published in November 2022 in a new hardcover edition, this is the 30th Anniversary Edition Hardcover (6.5" x 9.5") of Neal Stephenson's sci-fi classic, Snow Crash. It features vibrant new cover art, illustrated end-sheets a new introduction by the author and was signed by the author on the title page during a release event for the book. It has the original $40.00 price on the dust jacket's inner front flap and has a full number line to 1 on the copyright page (indicating a 1st printing for this edition). It is NOT a book club edition and is NOT remainder marked. One of the primary reasons this book has become almost impossible to find in recent years is the emergence of VR/AR technologies and networks which have often adopted the term "Metaverse" to describe themselves. This is the book (published 30 years ago!) that coined the term "Metaverse" and used it to describe a fictional virtual universe not entirely dissimilar to what is emerging today (and which FB has named their own VR/AR universe after). With a print run estimated at only 600 copies for the original Trade Hardcover 1st Edition, any hardcover edition has become hard to find over recent years. With no signed edition released directly by the publisher and Stephenson only making limited appearances for book signings, signed copies of this new edition are expected to become very rare. This makes for a Superb Collectible for fans of the Metaverse, Science Fiction and Neal Stephenson in particular! Ships via USPS Media Mail, with Faster Priority Mail shipping also available.
