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.

Technological upheaval (nanotech) leads to robot sentience through their own self-selection with a whole lot of other stuff (robot sex, lots of drug use, serial killer brain eaters, lunar war, mysticism, and on & on). This is a superb read and completely original. It is hard to put down once you start. Four books, 866 8x11 pages, free on .pdf -
