Obviously Orwell's 1984. Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep is also a good read. Dunno if some of them got translated into English but the whole Shadowrun Series written bei Markus Heitz is excellent too.

>>606328 his other trilogies are pretty good too. for me it would be like: sprawl trilogy ~ apple ii bridge trilogy ~ bondi blue imac g3 bigend trilogy ~ aluminium powerbook g4
i only read like 50 pages of the peripheral before giving up because i wasn't understanding a single thing. the atmosphere was really cool, especially the whole future cyber redneck thing.

i also reccomend max headroom (the tv series). it was surprisingly good and the asthetics were pure 80s kino, like the entwork xxiii building being cross shaped.

>>607079 Gibson's writing style is...frustrating. I'm not a native english speaker but I generally like to read in english. Neuromancer was the first book I've read that forced me to read some chapters multiple times and have a dictionary at my side all the time just to understand what was going on. It's definitely a book that benefits from multiple readings. I've never read the peripheral but I imagine it's the same deal or worse.

Ghost in the Shell is a natural choice, manga and anime

Blames author Tsutomu Nihei also made another cyberpunk-ish story called Noise. It's a one shot.
All of Ghost In The Shell's mediums are some of the best cyberpunk around of all time
As far as suggestions/mentions, I am surprised no one has spoke of Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita. Now that is a classic cyberpunk manga.

Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash is fun, it's definitely a little satirical of cyberpunk but worth reading in its own right as well.

Gibson's writing feels extremely smokescreen and pretentious. He's like trying to impress you by talking about that French butter put on a Scandinavian plate next to the Ono-Sendai last model technolyzer on that Shanghai-built table, but there is no substance behind those pretty names. Cut those pedantic descriptions and the size of his books is cut by half. And let's not even mention his boomer rambling about the next-gen Japanese schoolgirls. Sounds like 90s marketing.

Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age was actually good and really original. Although it is not quite cyberpunk, it's more like nanopunk and the ending is less interesting, than the beginning, you can definitely check it out.

No Guns Life tends to focus on the Noir aspect of a cyberpunk dystopia. It's pretty interesting, but the cyberpunk theme is more of a background.

It was already mentioned once, but Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita and its sequels are a must-read. Both the worldbuilding and the characters are top-notch and the artwork and designs are some of the best I've seen. There's also two OVAs that were launched in the 90's, and the movie launched last year, but I can't tell you about those, since i only read the manga and its sequels.

Willian Gibson's novels are really good to start with cyberpunk literature, specially the sprawl trilogy. Besides Gibson, Philip K Dick has also some really good books, although some are not entirely cyberpunk, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheeps (aka Blade Runner) is really cyberpunk-ish. In terms of manga, I really recommend Akira and Ghost in The Shell, I know they are the most popular ones, but they are really good and probably the best mangas of the genre

I'm completely in love with the Ghost in the Shell mangá and animé, lore and all. I also love Phillip K Dick, as it was said below. William Gibson's Neuromancer, also think it's his best novel. Akira Mangá and Animé, Lain, maybe Cowboy Bebop Animé... Matrix, Animatrix...those two are obvious. I like a novel that's from an author for the Netz, called 'Of Drugz and Wires', it's a Cyberpunk Comic, rly interesting, y'all should take a look.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in here but the Altered Carbon book series is *much* better than the show. Season 2 they basically grabbed bits & pieces from the 3 following books for.
Altered Carbon is the first book & the most cyberpunk of them.

>>612635 I usually like to read books in English as well, even though its not my native language, but with Gibson novels I think its quite beneficial not to. I read Neuromancer in my native lang and am currently reading Pattern Recognition, which is significantly easier to understand than Neuromancer, I quite like it so far.
It's totally fair to dislike Gibson though imo, he may have struck gold with Neuromancer initially but he's no untouchable god or anything.

It might not be directly Cyberpunk but i consider Roadside Picnic to be a n excellent read and can touch on some of the similar themes considering that while The Zone brings wonders and miracles to the people of the world there is still very much the issues endemic to human culture and experience.

I'm glad people mentioned Snow Crash, that book is great. I'll also say the comic series for Judge Dredd is pretty interesting + the stallone movie is great. The graphic novel Megalex is awesome. Oh and Morbus Gravis of the Druuna series is amazing also. Technically these are all graphic novels and not Japanese manga, but if you like cyberpunk these titles will not disappoint. (The Druuna series can be pretty adult oriented, fyi)

Also, Kowloon Generic Romance is a great (so far) cyberpunk manga. It's Kowloon is very different from real life Kowloon, even admitedly so. I feel the author somehow portrays it in a way akin to Kowloon's ethos, not it's real life counterpart, which is sweet.

Yeah, Gibson's writing is hard, but it benefits from the reader trusting him and just letting go of trying to understand. Eventually you will understand most weird stuff before the end of the book, and if not, you can always reread it!
I've finished the Peripheral a week ago, was good, but felt a bit souless compared with the Sprawl trilogy. Less original cyberpunk and more like that boring clean Blade Runner 2049 aesthetic. Story was good.
Post number #1025850, ID: 1c1746

I never found Gibson to be that hard really. Its just some of his cultural references have changed e.g. "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" had a different meaning when he wrote it back in the 80s. I doubt most people nowadays even use TV anymore and just stream shit instead. Even dead channels don't look the way they used to anyway.
