The movie the Matrix and the book Snow Crash have several similarities. The virtual worlds have a great impact on the characters real life; they are both constructed after a principle that is explained in the Matrix “the body can not live without the mind”. If your mind dies (your avatars mind) you will die. However in the Matrix you can also die if you get hurt on the rest of your body in the virtual world, but in Snow crash you are just logged of from the virtual world for a couple of days if someone kills your avatars thought a body injury, not the mind.
Mr. Smith vs. L. Bob Rife
They both manipulate other people’s minds; Mr. Smith does it in the virtual world while Mr. Rife does it in real life. But the principle is the same; they take over your mind and controls it. Mr. Rife does use the virtual world to control the hacker; because they are smarter than the regular person and thru out the history one hacker manage to get free from the mind control. So he invented Snow crash and by speeding it he controls the hackers thought fear of the drug which keeps them occupied with the drug instead of seeing what he is planning.
