Snow Crash
Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash is a post-cyberpunk classic that introduced the Metaverse long before it became part of our real world vocabulary. Fast-paced, witty, and wildly imaginative, the novel blends satire, action, and mystery in a fractured America where hackers, couriers, and corporations collide.
Kindlewood
Years ago, I stumbled upon something quietly extraordinary: a live show by Kindlewood at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. What began as casual support for a work colleague turned into a night I’ll never forget. Though the band has since parted ways, their haunting, heartfelt sound endures. It’s still streaming, still stirring, and still worth discovering.
