... Wait, no, maybe I'm wrong. How could this be better than Count Zero? Maybe not. Better than Neromancer? Could that be? So his work is really hard to rate or compare, but Pattern Recognition, in what seems to be a trilogy of sorts, is stupendous and wonderful.

Characters are deliciously drawn. The mystery unravels at a pace that is pitch perfect. The sadness and strange subtle shift of America after 9/11 is captured in a way that other authors haven't touched, which is interesting considering that the novel takes us from London to Tokyo, and Moscow, to Paris.

I love this world. I can't wait to read the book or the books that are going to connect his most recent texts - those set in our present - back to those that are set in the near future, and the still far future of his earlier work.

Maestro, thanks.

Pattern Recognition Blue Ant William Gibson 9780425198681 Books Reviews

I'm a fanatical fan of the Neuromancer trilogy, and disliked Pattern Recognition the first time I read it. I didn't understand the slow pace, the "interiority" (sorry, what I mean is the focus on tiny variations of internal experience) and I didn't care about the mystery at its core. So I was REALLY surprised to find that a lot of the book's images, metaphors, and experiences stayed with me, tugging at my memory over time.

About a year after the first reading, I went back and was stunned by how much I loved the book. As he matures, Gibson has gotten away from his youthful pyrotechnics and become more interested in things like how power is wielded in society and how marketing creates our sense of culture. You have to slow down to get this book, and savor it like a good meal — but once you've accepted that no one is going to get shot, turn themselves into a cyborg, or rob a bank on a broken leg, I think you'll find Gibson's social and moral matrix as satisfying as the virtual one.
I first read William Gibson about 14 years ago - 'Idoru' was my first cyberpunk experience, and I loved it! Imagine my excitement when 'Pattern Recognition' unexpectedly appeared on an episode of ABC TV's Book Club...
Cayse is a freelance 'cool hunter' which means she tracks down emerging trends and reports back to giant advertising groups who then market the ideas. Interestingly, Cayse suffers anxiety attacks if she so much as sees a famous trade logo (except when she is out of her home country) and has serious problems with some eg. Bibendum (the Michelin Man). She controls this by repeating a childhood mantra to herself 'He took a duck in the face at 250 knots'...
The writing and the 'feel' is present-tense, up-to-the-minute and quite complicatedly thrilling.
I loved Gibson's idea of the mirror-world, the strangeness of everyday objects and situations in another country.
"She's long kept track of certain obscure mirror-world pop figures, ... because their careers can be so compressed, so eerily quantum-brief, like particles whose existence can only be proven by streaks detected on a specially sensitized plates at the bottom of disused salt mines." - Location 1181/5179
Cayce (pronounced like "Case") is allergic to bad and ugly design in a world that seems to be filled with logos and promotion that often outshines the products themselves. You could think of her as a person who knows what she likes because anything else fills her with depression and anxiety. Then something happens that brings her inner peace. A girl in the New Russia who was almost completely cut off from reality by an assassin's bomb begins to create a movie that is secretly but freely given to the internet. This film that is composed of short segments of action attracts a world-wide following as millions of people attempt to connect meaning with each new clip that appears suddenly. The film contains images that are beautiful but lacking a constructive narrative. Cayce finds herself at the center of the search for the origin of this mystery in a global game of tag with those who want to use this pure form of art to make themselves rich, as it is a wildly successful advertisement for itself already but they want to brand and sell it.
A good read, but I compare it to "Burning Chrome" which is quite different and you have to change gears a bit as this story could be happening today.
Gibson can be a bit obscure and I always feel, at some point in each of his books, that I am a student taken to task by a master storyteller. Same with this book, and it was wonderful. Keep your thinking cap on and play attention to the details. This is a wild ride. Cache is a great character with depth who is surprising and engaging. Can't wait to read the next Blue Ant.
Doing a reread of Gibson's work. The Sprawl trilogy stands the test of time quite well,and the Bridge threesome is a superb reading by my standards but with Pattern Recognition,Gibson enters new territory,a mature,fully formed Gibson that dazzles and entertains in equal measure. I've read Pattern Recognition more times than I can remember and when I hit a slow patch of interesting new work I read it again. His use of language is poetic in the sense that it feels beautiful rolling thru my mind as I read leaving a sense of pleasure. Highly recommended.
