Neil Stephenson's first published novel was a essentially an incredibly messy prototype for Snow Crash called The Big U. It honestly isn't great, and I am pretty sure Stephenson has disowned it, but the whole concept was an all out war between student tribes - fraternities, athletics, cliques, student government, etc - after they'd taken over and locked down their corporate mega campus.

It's worth reading if you enjoy Snow Crash because you get to see where a lot of the ideas in that book came from, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise - this post just got me curious about how much of the conrent is pulled from that part of Japanese culture. I don't know much about the Stephenson's life, but I have very little doubt that the guy who named his main character Hiiro Protagonist had a serious weeb phase.
