Some things on my list:

SmartMobs: www.smartmobs.com

Linked: The new science of networks

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom: Cory Doctorow

JLM recommended the new Michael Crichton book, Prey, which is about Nanotech disasters.

And of course I'm trying to keep my reading ahead of the LOTR movies.

Cayce Pollard is a coolhunter, "a 'sensitive' of some kind, a dowser in the world of global marketing," able to recognize trends (i.e., patterns) before anyone else ...

Gibson's usual themes are still intact -- globalism, constant surveillance, paranoia, and pattern recognition -- only with the added presence of real-world elements (pilates, Google, Bibendum, Echelon, Buzz Rickson's). With incredibly evocative prose, Gibson masterfully captures the essence of a specific time and place ...

Gibson fans will not be disappointed.

The book goes on sale February 3, 2003.

Pattern Recognition, by William Gibson
