Reminds me of novel Aristoi [wikipedia.org] where all people were conditioned from childhood to respond in certain ways to complicated hand symbols - allowing ruling elite to paralyze them with hand gesture for example. Yes, having your computer glasses compromised because of looking at malicious picture is still far from having you brain 'hacked', but I hope we will get there soon;) Next step could be quick-hacking Google Glass v3 (with bone-transmitted headphones and retinal projector) to perform flashbang kind of attack (maximum sound and flash for short moment) when shown police badge upside down. And the we would have police pacifying riots using virtual lightningbolts [youtube.com]...
I too came here looking for a Snow Crash reference. Glad to see I am not disappointed. As soon as I saw the headline it was the most immediate thought in my mind.
As a professional political social engineer / marketer, I find it pleasing that you still think we're not hacking your brain. (What do you think is the point of communication then?) Please keep thinking that way. Oh, and ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
The decision doesn't have to be logical; it was unanimous.

How about Snow Crash (just as soon as we integrate Google Glass to augment our sensory perception).
