Nice language, good flow, but the world Gibson creates is not as deep and the plot much simpler than usual. The main character holds her own but the world she moves through is much simpler than a usual Gibson text. ( ) I have a real love/hate relationship with Gibson's prose. There are times when I want to shout, "For the love of Mike, use complete sentences!" Other times I just melt at some lyrical turn of phrase he will use. This is a typical Gibson story: of-the-moment tech and culture blended together with quirky (but realistic) characters. I'm on the fence about rating this 3 or 4 stars. I'm going to wait a while and see how much the story and characters hang with me, now that I'm no longer reading. If they stay strong (like they were real people who told me their story), then I'll upgrade the rating to a 4. [UPDATE: I've hiked my rating to 4 stars, in large part due to the strength of the other two stories in this series: [book:Spook Country|22322] and [b:Zero History|7745031|Zero History (Blue Ant, #3)|William Gibson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1282769471s/7745031.jpg|10567916]] I wanted to like it more. The writing is really good. Gibson can string words together. The truth is the book moved really slow and I didn't really care about the plot. Normally I would have given up in this book (the start was really slow). Only his writing style kept me going. Ultimately, it left me a little cold.
"In this, he is basically a conservative author; he doesn't really want to engage with the possibilities of the post-human. His chosen form, the novel, doesn't allow him to do this." "Gibson's best book since Mona Lisa Overdrive should satisfy his hardcore fans while winning plenty of new ones." ''Pattern Recognition'' considers these issues with appealing care and, given that this best-selling author is his own kind of franchise, surprising modesty. "A slick but surprisingly humane piece of work from the father of cyberpunk." HæderspriserDistinctionsNotable Lists
