Cyberpunk Books?
| I just read Neuromancer and it's very good
| 1984 focuses on humans over technology but it is a great story of dystopian privacy invasion
| Snow Crash is essential and better than Neuromancer IMO. Read Snow Crash.
| Checked out both, thanks guys
| Do you guys know aby cyberpunk fantasy books? Like Shadowrun or SMT(the old one) style?
| Do Electric Sheep Dream of Androids?
XDD
| William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy can be a good start

I read Neuromancer when I was stupid 17 kid, and it seemed overrated to me at the time. Snowcrash is awesome tho.
There's also Richard Morgan's "Altered Carbon" books, less wacky, closer to noir genre.
Also Charles Stross ("Rule 34", "Accelerando") if you're not 17 like I was and if you're looking for technocratic futurology instead of dystopia
| Considering Gibson's sprawl trilogy(and burning chrome) pretty much invented the genre, I'd start with those. That's Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Then move on to essential reads like Do Bots Dream of Electric Sheep and Snow Crash, then just find authors you like. I've been reading Idoru myself.
| I know a lot of people don't like them but I think gibsons later work isn't bad either. It may not be cyberpunk but it's all postcyberpunk and imo quite enjoyable.
| If you are looking for a non fiction novel on how cyberpunk got started, Cyberia is a good choice. Takes place in the 90's
