Lol. Thank you. I had definitely just added necromancer by Gordon R Dickson to my list instead so that info really helps. I don't read a lot of cyberpunk, so looking forward to something a little different.

And thank YOU, since it’s been far too long since I’ve read any Dickson! I know I’ve got one around here somewhere. :)

For what it’s worth, for cyberpunk my personal fave 3 are

  • The Shockwave Runner (John Brunner), which introduced the concept of a computer worm and is arguably the first cyberpunk novel, written in 1975(!).
  • Neuromancer
  • When Gravity Fails, George Alec Effinger. Middle-eastern tinged and quite good.
  • (Does the Quantum Thief count? I don’t think that’s really Cyberpunk per se, though)
