About this product

Product Information

" Pattern Recognition is William Gibson's best book since he rewrote all the rules in Neuromancer. "--Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods "One of the first authentic and vital novels of the 21st century."-- The Washington Post Book World The accolades and acclaim are endless for William Gibson's coast-to-coast bestseller. Set in the post-9/11 present, Pattern Recognition is the story of one woman's never-ending search for the now... Cayce Pollard is a new kind of prophet--a world-renowned "coolhunter" who predicts the hottest trends. While in London to evaluate the redesign of a famous corporate logo, she's offered a different assignment: find the creator of the obscure, enigmatic video clips being uploaded to the internet--footage that is generating massive underground buzz worldwide. Still haunted by the memory of her missing father--a Cold War security guru who disappeared in downtown Manhattan on the morning of September 11, 2001--Cayce is soon traveling through parallel universes of marketing, globalization, and terror, heading always for the still point where the three converge. From London to Tokyo to Moscow, she follows the implications of a secret as disturbing--and compelling--as the twenty-first century promises to be...

    Pattern Recognition Special and Exciting Adventures

    Because I have read other novels by wiliam Gibson that I enjoyed very much, I purchased this one expecting a somewhat similar plot line. If fact, Pattern Recognition is set in the modern period. Cayce, one of the main characters, is sensitized to the use of media as advertising. She has lost her father and though aware he may be gone for good, continues to search for signs of him.

He has a lot of information about IT in all of his books. If this appeals to you, as it does to me, you will enjoy this and all of his books. They are very exciting. even though this book is set more in the present day than the others he has written, ...

    Cayce Pollard & her Rickson's jacket

    Pattern Recognition is a campy listing of brands, logos and mystery. Cayce Pollard is roped in by zillionaire Hubetus Bigend to find out who the maker of "the fottage" is. Cayce is a "cool hunter," identifying the "next level" of fashion and, while they make her physicaaly ill on sight, savant of trade logos. She works alone. The hunt brings in some kooky characters and Cayce's journeys lead her, eventually, to Russia, where she finds the footage maker, gets drugged, winds up in a special work prison, makes a break and is, finally, rescued by "Parkaboy," her friend on the Net, who eventually becomes her husband (Zero History). It is a fascinating book, reaal campy and a lot of the dialogue takes place on the Net. Cayce's favorite piece of clothing is her Buzz Rickson's WWII replica flight ...
