The Big Three, traditionally: 1) Neuromancer 2) Mirrorshades
3) Snow Crash Personally, I like the last one best. For
background, try Mark's recommendation, Dhalgren, &
Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow; I don't think you could have
Cyberpunk as it is without either of them (but forgive
me--that's a tautology, of course). Rob
