pattern recognition by william gibson is actually the first book i’ve read by him (having not read neuromancer yet). and once again i find myself reading a book where the protagonist works in marketing.
i thought cayce, the protagonist, was a very richly drawn and interesting character, but most of the other characters were a bit thin. the locations and experiences brought more to the story than the other characters did. the writing (the language) is just fantastic.
overall, it is a book that i would recommend, although i found it to ultimately be a little bit unsatisfying.
they’re turning the space across the corner from me into a cafe for some kind of shoot. (i would guess a commercial based on the generic-ness of the signage.)
