I'd love some recommendations to books with a similar feel to Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. The things I particularly enjoyed about this book were the way visual elements and imagery were described, as well as how they made the protagonist feel.

I'm not necessarily looking for a similar plot, and it doesn't need to be sci-fi or speculative fiction.

So, hit me with your recommendations! I'd love to know what you enjoyed about the book you recommend too ๐Ÿ˜Š

This is a bit out there, but for the "feel", I'd recommend Hyperion by Dan Simmons. It takes a bit to get going, but wow it's a great book. The rest of the series is satisfying as well, but you don't have to go past book one.

That's been on my reading list for a while. I'll give it a go, thank you!
