    <body><![CDATA[I has an affinity for cyberpunk stories, which is how I know Gibson's work. I feel a certain distance, though, between his characters and the world they are caught up in; the language is scintillating, but it feels very &quot;surface&quot; to me. <em>Pattern Recognition</em> was the first of his novels that ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3374361">more...</a>]]></body>
