Cyberpunk Now

A short bibliography of fiction – books and stories that I consider to be cyberpunk. Not inclusive and definitely a work in progress.

• William Gibson – Burning Chrome, and the “Cyberspace Trilogy”: Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive
• Bruce Sterling – Schismatrix, Islands in the Net
• George Alec Effinger – the Marîd Audran series: When Gravity Fails, A Fire in the Sun, The Exile Kiss
• Walter Jon Williams – Hardwired
• Rudy Rucker – Software, Wetware
• Various – The Mirroshades Anthology (Bruce Sterling, ed.)
• Lucius Shepard – Life During Wartime
• John Shirley – A Song Called Youth trilogy: Eclipse, Eclipse Penumbra, Eclipse Corona
• Pat Cadigan – Mindplayers, Synners
• Neal Stephenson – Snow Crash
• John Brunner – Stand on Zanzibar, The Shockwave Rider

And if you’re looking for more, the Cyberpunk Reading List is worth checking out. Many of the books and authors cited stretch the definition, but then one might argue my inclusion of John Brunner (which also appears on that list) is not true “cyberpunk”.
