2. Snow Crash

Snow Crash is a novel by Neal Stephenson, first published in 1992. It is set in the near future, where computer hackers control the world’s money and politics.

In this universe, there are two types of people: those who are born with half-Data (human) DNA and those who have full Data (computer) DNA. The former group can be used as slaves by their owners; however, some members of this group are able to take over their masters’ bodies when they die.

The story revolves around Hiro Protagonist—a hacker who works for Uncle Enzo on his pizza delivery truck—and his quest to find out why he was infected with a virus capable of taking over his body when he dies; while also trying not to fall prey to other hackers like “Enzo” who wants him dead so he can collect all his data packages before someone else does.”

7. The Matrix

Larry and Andy Wachowski are the authors and directors of the science fiction film The Matrix from 1999. Laurence Fishburne, Keanu Reeves, and Carrie-Anne Moss played the main roles in the movie. It’s set in a dystopian future where humans have become enslaved by machines that can control their bodies as well as their minds.

In order to escape from this world, Neo must learn the truth about reality before it’s too late for him or any other person living in this digital realm called “The Matrix” (which essentially means “the world without”).

This movie is one of the most popular movies ever made because it shows how people used technology against themselves and became slaves by using their minds instead of using physical bodies like humans do today with robots which makes us lazy.

So we don’t need more than one job anymore because we can take care of ourselves without having too much stress in our lives which makes us feel depressed sometimes when nothing goes right for us even though we work hard every single day trying our hardest not only at work but also outside doing something else just so long until tomorrow when maybe tomorrow will bring something new again.
