Not once did I ever know who any of the characters were. The main character was annoying and the story was meh

I gave it two stars, but really this means:
4 stars for ecoterrorism and hating capitalism and general littiness
0 stars for S.T, our beloved hero, being a chauvinist pig

A little confusing but exciting. ST is like a bad-ass version of Randy from Cryptonomicon and every single other character is anything but bland.
I don't think it is worth a re-read, mostly because it is just a fun thriller, but it is definitely worth a look for those wondering where Stephenson found his style.
