Hell, yeah my friend recommended that to me after I told him I had just started snow crash and I was loving the fuck out of it
Snow Crash is so weird. It's great. If you want another one along the same lines as far as zaniness goes you should read The Big U.
Cryptonomicon and the System of the World trilogy and Reamde and Anathem and the rest of them are more serious (but probably also better works objectively (but there's nothing wrong with the fun ones)).
Alan Turing is in Cryptonomicon though, also the whole book is excellent. I'm due for a reread.
