I really love the idea of cyberpunk. It seems to hit far too many of my story kinks to not love the genre: hackers and virtual reality and drugs and thieves and crumbling skyscrapers against polluted skies. But I've yet to find a book of it that I love. All of it that I've tried just seems a little... meh. I want to blame it on a focus on plot when I'd rather read about characters, but I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.
Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is the closest thing I've ever read to what I'm looking for, while most of Gibson's stuff kind of bores me, to give you an example of my taste.
So, o flist which tends to hold the accumulated knowledge of the universe, what cyberpunk books would you rec me?
