For anyone seeing this and wishing there really was a stupidly enjoyable satire of 1980s cyberpunk tropes:

It's called Snow Crash.

Guess I gotta go read Snow Crash then.

Snow Crash is a very good book by Neal Stephenson. The post is just about an invented parody of the genre.

Check out William Gibsons Neuromancer (which mote or less coined the genre), it sticks maybe more to OPs post IMO anyways.

Snow Crash is an extant parody of the genre, hence the recommendation.

The main character is named Hiro Protagonist.
