A new entry titled Pattern Recognition. William Gibson. has been posted to " Knights on the Road "
Vancouver's most famous SF author paints some pretty incredible scenes with this one based in London, Tokyo, and Moscow, not so far in the future, The heroine is a coolhunter, someone who recognizes trends and patterns of behavior before anyone else and sells advice to marketing companies for big bucks. Oh and she has negative reactions to labels so she lives in generic clothes and lodgings. He grabs your attention from behind and before you know it you care about this mystery she is drawn to solve and all the ancillary characters involved. Great summer read and he nails how some companies are trying to manipulate word of mouth marketing. OK Spook country has been released this week (And its location is.......Vancouver)
