The protagonist suffers from a lot of ennui, which didn't make for a compelling character. In assuming that people can be cryogenically preserved and brought back to life in the future, DeLillo does pose interesting questions about whether it would even be desirable. Will one have the same personality? memories? Will the planet have a renewed or ravaged environment? Even so, I just never reached a feeling of engagement with it. Maybe because I compared it to his excellent book, White Noise.
