My second read of this book. I loved the protagonist the first time I read this. Now I remember why I have an allergic reaction to branded clothes. No Logos! Pattern Recognition by William Gibson #bskybooks

I finished this book today. I didn't realise this was the original version after seeing a film adaptation on Netflix. Of course it's nothing like the book. Putting in an order for the next book in the Southern Reach Series #bskybooks
