By (author): William Gibson

'Part-detective story, part-cultural snapshot . . . all bound by Gibson's pin-sharp prose' Arena

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE BLUE ANT TRILIOGY - READ ZERO HISTORY AND SPOOK COUNTRY FOR MORE

Cayce Pollard has a new job. She's been offered a special project: track down the makers of an addictive online film that's lighting up the internet. Hunting the source will take her to Tokyo and Moscow and put her in the sights of Japanese hackers and Russian Mafia. She's up against those who want to control the film, to own it - who figure breaking the law is just another business strategy.

The kind of people who relish turning the hunter into the hunted . . .

A gripping spy thriller by William Gibson, bestselling author of Neuromancer. Part prophesy, part satire, Pattern Recognition skewers the absurdity of modern life with the lightest and most engaging of touches. Readers of Neal Stephenson, Ray Bradbury and Iain M. Banks won't be able to put this book down.

'Fast, witty and cleverly politicized' Guardian

'A big novel, full of bold ideas . . . races along like an expert thriller' GQ

'Dangerously hip. Its dialogue and characterization will amaze you. A wonderfully detailed, reckless journey of espionage and lies'
USA Today

'A compelling, humane story with a sympathetic heroine searching for meaning and consolation in a post-everything world' Daily Telegraph

'Electric, profound. Gibson's descriptions of Tokyo, Russia and London are surreally spot-on' Financial Times
