Neal Stephenson Celebrates ‘Snow Crash’ 30th Anniversary by Auctioning Sword with NFT, Manuscripts
“The sword took us a year to create and is one of the finest pieces of craftsmanship WETA has created,” said Sir Richard Taylor, founder of WETA workshop. “The whole collection is then housed in a crate from a fictitious gaming company that in theory has owned this sword that has now come up for auction. It is an insane, inworld fusion of ancient craft with the digital age.” Taylor adds that “the swords Tansu storage case itself is an, automated, internally driven, magnetically activated, very unique box, with hidden compartments, secret items, coded messages and other inworld special nods to the world Neal authored.”
This auction will not only celebrate Stephenson’s legacy and the lore of Snow Crash but could also serve as a springboard to expand the Snow Crash universe further. [Taylor adds that Stephenson is exploring “future transmedia developments”.] For Taylor, they are at the cusp of creating a body of creative work that blurs the line between the physical and the digital, which we have been affectionately calling ‘Masterworks for the Metaverse’.
The sword will, of course, have its own unique NFT “capturing every detail of its physical twin,” and someone’s already bid $60,000 for it.
Also up for auction are two original manuscripts for Snow Crash and the painting used as the original edition’s cover art — but also two forgotten artifacts from the book’s afterlife:
“The only surviving materials from the original graphic novel concept for Snow Crash titled Dioxin Posse, ca. 1989”
“The leather jacket meant to be worn by Y.T. in the original graphic novel concept for Snow Crash, featuring the ‘Elmo’ logo used by her group, the “Dioxin Posse,” ca. 1989.”
