  • William Gibson's new novel asks, is the truth stranger than science fiction today? by John Marshal, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Pattern Recognition" arose from two projects undertaken by the writer. One required him to jet from Vancouver to London for short visits every month and it prompted the sensation of being perennially jet-lagged in both places, a disorientation that Pollard experiences in the novel. The other was an assignment for Wired magazine that had him reporting on digital filmmakers in Los Angeles and it prompted him to reflect on the notion of "a mystery auteur."
• "Google Cayce and you will find "coolhunter," and if you look closely you may see it suggested that she is a "sensitive" of some kind, a dowser in the world of global marketing."
• "Apophenia": here and here.
