I’ve been reading some more sci-fi, especially cyberpunk and I’m really enjoying it but I’d really like a book. It’s sort of like an Elmore, Leonard novel, but in a cyberpunk setting, you know fun crime stories that aren’t very heavy in concept.
Any recommendations ?

I am not familiar with Elmore or Leonard, but here are some suggestions of fun cyberpunk:
* Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. There are life or death stakes, but I find it to be much more lighthearted than most of what this author writes.
* Ready Player One. It’s basically junk food for your brain, a fun treasure hunt though set against a desolate backdrop.
* Synners. About creative types and computer hackers during a time when brain-computer interfaces are invented.
* Some short stories you may like: [The Techno Rat](https://escapepod.org/2020/06/12/escape-pod-736-techno-rat-summer-flashback/), [The Revolution, Brought To You by Nike](https://escapepod.org/2018/09/06/escape-pod-644-the-revolution-brought-to-you-by-nike-part-1/), and [Ride the Dragon](https://escapepod.org/2016/10/27/ep547-ride-the-dragon/).
