Review of "Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson
5 stars
A thriller-ish story grounded in a kind of philosophy-of-advertising that I found unexpected and interesting. It becomes a little more procedural in the second half, but is consistently satisfying. The characters are deep, the place descriptions are transporting. I was surprised at how much dread could be evoked from the Michelin man. Happy to learn there's a second in the series!
