Reddit reviews Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology

Mirrorshades are absolutely cyberpunk.

I would pick up the seminal Mirrorshades anthology of cyberpunk, and follow up on the authors you like in there.

Then I would try to find a copy of The Fortunate Fall, which is considered by more than a few critics to be the absolute, bar-none, best cyberpunk novel. (disclaimer: I haven't read it, yet - though I've decided to nominate it for next month's r/SF_Book_Club)

Most of these are very early cyberpunk, the progenitors of the genre if you will. As such I'm not sure if they can be described as necessarily obscure but I don't see many of them mentioned that often (admittedly I'm somewhat new to /r/cyberpunk so you guys might talk about them all the time, in which case please disregard). As a final note not all of these are available on the Kindle market. Nevertheless here's a few that leap to mind -

1. When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger which has two sequels if you enjoy it, the third being better than the second imo.
   
   
2. The Ware Tetrology by Rudy Rucker
   
   
3. Islands in the Net by Bruce Sterling. He also edited the early cyberpunk anthology Mirrorshades which is worth checking out along with a several of his other works.
   
   
4. Mindplayers by Pat Cadigan who also wrote a few others worth looking at.
   
   
5. Frontera by Lewis Shiner.
   
   
6. I hesitate to mention this one as it's hardly obscure but if all you have seen is the film which is based off it, it is definitely worth getting Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick.
   
   
7. Vurt by Jeff Noon.
   
   
8. Farewell Horizontal by K W Jeter along with his other novels Glass Hammer and Dr. Adder.
   
   
9. Someone else mentioned Walter Jon Williams novels which I would also highly recommend.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Nice! was hoping to get something recomended that i hadn't read but i have and they are all great!

If you want good short stories go for the collection, Mirrorshades, some sick af stories in there. Also if you are into post-cyberpunk go for rewired. :)

Mirror Shades Anthology

Mirrorshades

It's a short story anthology, edited by Bruce Sterling. William Gibson is also a contributing author. I consider this book to be genre-defining, in part because Bruce Sterling has a long preface where he talks a lot about what the cyberpunk movement is and how it came to be.

Check out Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology for an awesome collection of short stories related to AI, VR, and grungy future worlds dominated by mega corporations. If this kind of stuff is up your alley I would also highly recommend Burning Chrome by William Gibson.
