I too would have preferred knowing that it was a sequel. I would have then read Pattern Recognition first. As it happened, I probably got less out of each book by reading them in the wrong order ;-) Aha ..

Did you read Pattern Recognition first ? I did not. I made the mistake of reading Spook Country first, and THEN Pattern Recognition.
