In the book snowcraah by Neil Stephenson the main character is named “Hiro Protagonist”. Yes it’s a real book, and one of my favorites, by a real author.

I like it, as a person who doesn’t really pay attention to most names in fiction, and primarily focuses on the story it’s trying to tell.

Don’t make it too obvious like “Busty LoveInterest” and “Villain McMustashface”.

If you like techno-fantasy I highly recommend snowcrash. For years I’ve wanted a game of the first chapter, basically a guy is delivering pizza but gas is really expensive so all he has is a skateboard and a harpoon gun with an electromagnet. He basically shoots the harpoon at cars and gave them pull him towards the destination, it sounds like a cool video game like a race but you don’t control speed only which car you are connected to.

Don’t worry that didn’t spoil anything. The book goes into a totally different direction with technology and science.

I’ve said that before too, like I would love a novel that’s just about the pizza delivery side of things, he crammed so much fascinating backstory into that one chapter, then the book completely changes direction and never looks back. That whole sequence with all the crazy technology and just the tone in general was just so badass.

Don’t get me wrong, the rest of the book is pretty awesome too, but that first chapter is wild just on its own.
