Thanks for the great turnout for William Gibson's Pattern Recognition and your willingness to go where no book group has gone so far (and the new Star Trek is terrific!).
After this second reading, I really came to admire the book's title, because Cayce Pollard is truly challenged to see the patterns, not only in her professional life, but in the video, her father's (maybe) passing, her interactions with "triusted" colleagues... as well as the commonalities of her global destinations... where's the hotel, where's the coffee shop, where's the internet café, etc. The interview at Salon actually sheds a lot of light on the book. I hope you enjoyed the ride.
General opinion on PATTERN RECOGNITION was a well-written book whose beautiful prose and story action overtook any disability we felt in the technical area. We were not troubled by the ending being too much of a wrap-up. We liked the protagonist. We felt it is an important subject to explore in view of the future being now.
