I’m going to preface this by saying, I’m a huge fan of sci-fi graphic novels and books, I’ve read plenty of the major dystopian sci-fi novels (1984, Brave New World, Children of Men, F451, etc.)
I stumbled into Neuromancer blindly and absolutely loved it! I especially enjoyed the breakneck pace of the book, I felt like I was stumbling over words trying to keep up with the action. I loved the cool, sleek, cyberpunk imagery of it all. I’m wondering if this community has any recommendations in the same vein.

Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan and books by Neal Stephenson are good too like Snow Crash
The rest of Gibson? Idoru is my favorite book by him. The short stories in Burning Chrome have the same feel as Neuromancer too.
Possibly my favorite book. You will get a lot of recommendations for *Snow Crash,* but consider holding off on it for a while. It’s the rare takedown of a genre that ends up being simultaneously one of the best examples of that genre, and it’s great. I suspect its impact will be greater after reading some other cyberpunk.
