This month, we're heading back less than a decade, to [[Pattern Recognition by William Gibson]]. It's a beautifully written novel of here-and-now, with striking language taken from neuroscience, IT and marketing and a meditation on the lost soul of urban world cum thriller cum quest for illumination. It is s a novel suspended between the scientific and the literary, the mercantile and the artistic, the genre and the mainstream; a literary equivalent of the Third Culture embodied by [http://www.edge.org/ The Edge]. Sounds a bit much? Well, it isn't. You should give it a look.
