Camden Town

Camden Town, London. It reminds me of the "Pattern Recognition" book by William Gibson.

Or - the other way around - the book was the motivation to go there. Unfortunately I did not find a bookshop which had that book in the neighbourhood. It would have been even more fun to read some parts of it and see where the action took place.

I'll have to get my copy from Latvia or buy a new one...

I’ve read this book and I can understand you why it made you go and check out Camden Town. The prose in this book is lovely. The flavor of what he does with that language is very close to some of the early cyberpunk concerns, but set in the present day (more or less). It's altogether a much subtler, more mature work, in a world where cyberspace exists, not as an idealized 3D medium but as a murky but fascinating medium none the less.
