* Rat Things in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.

By then, memetics had also become a theme appearing in fiction ( e. g. Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash ).

Stephenson's breakthrough came in 1992 with Snow Crash, a novel in the late cyberpunk or post-cyberpunk tradition fusing memetics, computer viruses, and other high-tech themes with Sumerian mythology, along with a sociological extrapolation of laissez-faire capitalism and collectivism.

Snow Crash can be considered to be the first expression of Stephenson's mature style.

Other popular fictional works that use the concept of virtual reality include William Gibson's Neuromancer which defined the concept of cyberspace, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, in which he made extensive reference to the term avatar to describe one's representation in a virtual world, and Rudy Rucker's The Hacker and the Ants, in which programmer Jerzy Rugby uses VR for robot design and testing.

The Diamond Age can be seen as set in the same universe as Snow Crash, many years later.

This reading is based on a connection between Y. T., a major character in Snow Crash, and the aged neo-Victorian Miss Matheson in The Diamond Age, who drops oblique references to her past as a hard-edged skateboarder.

This would set The Diamond Age some 80 – 100 years after Snow Crash.

* Stephenson's short story " The Great Simoleon Caper " which refers to both the Metaverse seen in Snow Crash and the First Distributed Republic seen in The Diamond Age ( another short story which fits in the Diamond Age milieu and even shares a character is " Excerpt from the Third and Last Volume of Tribes of the Pacific Coast ").

Deprived of their funding, large-scale governments collapsed, and were replaced by small, voluntary governments like the burbclaves depicted in Snow Crash.

Both novels deal with an almost " primitive tech " replacing a current, worldwide use technology, in the sense of the reprogramming of the mind through ancient Sumerian chanting in Snow Crash ( which also uses allusions to Babylonian prostitutes passing an information virus like a sexually transmitted disease ), and the idea of nanotechnology propagating and communicating through sexual intercourse, passing from body to body like a virus.

Both novels use an ancient, almost primitive threat to modern, " Western " technology and ideology ( The Raft in Snow Crash and The Fists of Righteous Harmony in The Diamond Age ).
