Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash is one of those books with a mediocre plot and good enough characters that will stick with you for a long time after reading it. But it doesn’t feel like one of those philosophical novels with hollow characters representing a school of thought.

Background I’ve previously written about Western Consensus Thinking. Here’s a short recap: the prevailing mode of thought in developed nations, in fact the only officially sanctioned philosophy-religion, is a sort of “end of history”, all problems have been solved mix of unlimited development.

I’ve finished watching all the major Star Wars productions outside of the Skywalker Saga, and I have to say there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on in them. I’m talking about: Rouge One, Solo, the Mandalorian and Boba Fett.
