The GTD method is incredible. The only issue with this book is that, as other people mentioned, it is simply too long. The entire second half of it just explains how great the system is, after you've already implemented the system.

Great book. I'd absolutely recommend Snow Crash to anyone who is interested in cyberpunk, as this book is basically THE original cyberpunk book.
As others said, the ending is a bit lackluster and Deus Ex Machina, but it still didn't leave me disappointed after finishing the book.
The plot itself is confusing at times, but generally really interesting. People who like fast-paced action stories will probably love it. The book also has good worldbuilding.
I didn't really get the "metavirus" stuff but it was still interesting.

This book is generally really interesting for someone who is curious about the topic, but I found some of the chapters to be pretty boring and slow.

Great book, definitely a must-read for anyone who wants to organize their knowledge.
Not a 5/5 since there are still some questions I have after reading the book which were not properly addressed
