A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Snow Crash is a near future tech dystopia where corporations run most of the world, and people hang out in the meta verse - a virtual space. It's where assholes like Facebook got the idea from, despite snow crash being a dystopia.
The main plot is about some sort of sickness that's afflicting tech people. There's a lot more detail I don't remember.
A supporting character is a cool 15 year old that for some reason the author sexualizes and has a sex scene with her. He could've just made her like 20 but nope.
I didn't know Michael Bay wrote a book!
If they didn't have some kind of message about it being wrong then it is probably the author's fetish.
Gotcha. Does the relationship exist to build character or demonstrate that even the protagonist's morals have slipped along with the community's eithics?
I honestly don't remember the details very clearly. It ends badly for the guy in a weird way. I think it was mostly played straight as "this 15 year old girl totally wants to fuck this older man". I think she may have been kidnapped too?
It's been a while. I don't remember taking anything from that plot beat other than ick.
