Or maybe it's the "Hubertus Bigend" trilogy. Anyway, I finished his recent trilogy this past weekend, and really enjoyed it.
The books are: Pattern Recognition (2003), Spook Country (2007), and Zero History (2010). They are primarily about marketing, art, design, technology, and such, but they are also spy thrillers to a certain extent.
I found all of them to be really interesting. Good stories, a good touch of irony, some action, strong leads, and a lot to think about. Gibson is known for his science fiction work primarily (in the 80s he coined the term cyberspace in his debut novel).
But these last three books are set very much in the present. Gibson believes that it's a lot more interesting to explore the "alien present" than it is to try to extrapolate into the future. He has a good quote: "The future is here. It's just not very evenly distributed." These books look at where it is distributed. Good reads.
I didn’t know Pattern Recognition had sequels! that’s awesome! I really liked that book-I’ll have to check them out. thanks man!
That’s funny–my friend Matt didn’t know Spook Country had a sequel. 🙂 Enjoy them!
