Query: Stephenson's brilliant ideas are missing -

What a disappointment! After several weeks of intermittent reading (ploddingly slow), I have decided to abandon this eagerly-purchased novel. The truly original and creative ideas that Stephenson introduced in his earlier cyber-novels (Snow Crash and A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer) are totally missing, along with any compelling story line (at least up to page 200). What is the point of this book?I am an occasional Stephenson reader and fan, and have read enough of his work to recognize and enjoy flashes of his brilliant ideas. Past novels have tended to wander somewhat aimlessly and I had visions (hopes) of a coherent plot that would thread through three fat, juicy novels.It's not to be, at least not yet.
