Pattern Recognition by William Gibson is a gripping contemporary thriller that delves into the intersection of technology, culture, and identity. The story follows Cayce Pollard, a marketing consultant with an uncanny sensitivity to branding, as she is drawn into a global search for the creator of enigmatic, fragmented video clips circulating online. Set in a post-9/11 world, the novel explores themes of consumerism, memory, and the ways in which technology shapes human connection and meaning. With its sharp prose and prescient insights, Gibson crafts a tense and thought-provoking narrative that captures the pulse of modern digital culture.
