There were a host of outer limits episodes in the 60's detailing the whole language as a form of control theme (the theme actually goes back in many occult texts to around 500BC - which I would consider early sci-fi) - I'm guessing you can find the rest readily enough from your own experiences reading sci-fi if you have read, well any, since control via language is by far the most obscure thing in the book (and frankly, seems like the author just looking through the fourth wall to kill the book in most of the areas it is cited).

So not only is Stephenson a crappy author, but you're on par with
Siskel and Ebert. Fabulous.I'm curious - you said that all of the sci-fi themes were lifted from
previous works. Which themes, and where were they lifted from? Were
you aware that Snow Crash was published in 1992? I'm just asking
because you compared the ending to a Futurama episode which aired in
2002. Incidentally, the episode you compared it to was nominated for
an Emmy - which kind of contradicts your whole "this book sucks"
thing.-Dan
