Weirder than having a character just named Y.T. ?

'Yours Truly' seems banal when the main character is Hiro Protagonist.

Self-debasing levity is one of the many reasons Snow Crash (1992) is a great reaction to Neuromancer (1984).

I think quite a few folks missed or have forgotten that Snow Crash is a satire on the cyberpunk genre AND society at the same time

And those folks are trying very hard with the whole Torment Nexus thing.

nueromancer tried to be edgy and serious, snow crash is weird and fun
