AtD and 1904

[John Carvill]

Thanks for that. Just to be clear: I wasn't being argumentative in my
post, just interested. Turns out I had read that NYT review before, and
totally forgotten it. I reckon the reviewer is pushing it just a wee bit
by claiming Pattern Recognition is a 'remake' of COL49 but there
definitely are some resonances.

Cheers
John

<<Young, lonely woman stumbles across an underground society
communicating through an obscure network beyond the official channels.
During her quest she is gradually "sensitized" to her surroundings,
receives help from a handsome young guy who may not have entirely pure
motives, is tormented by doubts as to the reality of the conspiracy she
apparently discovers - is there a true plot or does she merely suffer
from paranoia/apohenia? - and behind it all looms the presence of a
shady, powerful financial mogul. 
Sounds familiar? It certainly did to me, and it also did to the New York
Times' reviewer:
