Just bought a book... William Gibson - Pattern Recognition

(1/5) > >>

Don Seer:
not heard anything about this, just happened to spot it in waterstones in my lunch break.. loved all his older works.

his direction has changed from him inventing 'cyberspace' (aka the matrix.. which owes a lot to gibson) to later works taking a deeper approach to the current world..


--- Quote ---"PATTERN RECOGNITION is William Gibson's best book since he rewrote all the rules in NEUROMANCER. Gibson casts a master extrapolator's eye on our present, and shows it to us as if for the first time."

--Neil Gaiman,
author of AMERICIAN GODS


A return to the present makes [Gibson] more prescient than ever....doubtless his best work since Count Zero [1986]. Gibson's narrative is more relaxed than it has been in years... his own laser-perfect cultural radar - Malcolm Gladwell meets Marshall McLuhan in a chat room - [carries] the story along. A slick but surprisingly humane piece of work from the father of cyberpunk.
--Kirkus Review
