I finished reading William Gibson’s latest book Pattern Recognition last night; enjoyed it very much. Lots of things about the main character Cayce Pollard struck a chord with me. I told my wife that in some ways Cayce is like a girl version of myself, or at least parts of myself I am able to admit having. One of my new favorite lines comes from Hubertus Bigend near the close of the book:

“I think it’s all actually about money, for him.” He grimaces. “Ultimately I find that that was the whole problem, with most of the dot-com people. Good night.”
