William Gibson, the same author of the classic Neuromancer, wrote this book around the time of the unfortunate events of September, 2001. Even though it is classified as science fiction, funnily enough I would think of it more as contemporary fiction since its plot contains events that could be happening currently.
There's not that many novels that would star marketers, so that makes it interesting already 😉
Whoa! For a moment I thought you were really recommending a book about pattern recognition. 🙂
Well, the book actually IS about pattern recognition, but in a rather metaphorical way.
