Pattern Recognition

I"ve posted this at Collective Detective too, but has anyone read Pattern Recognition by William Gibson?

There seems to be a lot of web addresses and emails in the book. It is also ABOUT a group like Cloudmakers/ CD/ etc. Is it possible there is NOT a game going on here?

I'm curious what the group thinks.

New Game?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Little help here. I'm not used to blazing any trails on these groups ... Wink

I sincerely don't want to end up actualy screwing around with a Russian Investing Group. Can someone give me a reality check please!?

I wrote the address in the book "stellanor@armaz.ru" about the FOOTAGE, and this was the reply I got back. (original message follows). This has got to be a game right? It's too big a coincidence otherwise? Oh, important to note, this was on AUTOREPLY. It was buzzed back instantly.

Footage is being available at the same rate it has been.

but Cayce and I haven't seen any footage posted in a long while, and
just wanted to make sure everything was ok. We on F:F:F are all hopeful
everything is well and are devoted as always. Have we actualy managed
to not find a posting at last?

In the original letter I wrote "The Film Forever" in Russian where the ???'s are.

What do you think?
