I could tell you some abstraction of "There was that programmer woman from the miner magnate family and there was that one guy that was hanging out with the eves", but it's all pretty blurry. I don't remember anyone from Anathem. My main issue is that I can't even tell you who the main character of Seveneves was, if there was one. I remember that there was one in Anathem, but could I tell you anything about him? Nope, just good sci fi. I remember everyone from Snow Crash, and I definitely remember the main char from Diamond Age, her dad, the guy he robbed, etc. I stopped reading Stephenson after.
