The Canon

Burning Chrome - William Gibson

Gibson's short stories.

Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mone Lisa Overdrive - William Gibson

The "Cyberspace Trilogy."

Mirrorshades the Cyberpunk Anthology - Bruce Sterling ed.

Useful pointer to actual no-kidding Movement Cyberpunks.

Mindplayers - Pat Cadigan

Her best novel. An absolute must-have.

Heatseeker - John Shirley

Shirley's short-stories. His most significant and influential work. More-or-less official lit-crit organ of cyberpunk SF and assorted fellow-travellers. Very sporadic.

Science Fiction Studies

Dull gray academic rag seized in startling coup by wacky post-modernists. Now almost readable!

Wired

The first magazine of the 1990s that actually looks and acts as if it belongs in this decade. Now in its fourth year!

21*C

Australian cyberculture weighs in with a big glossy artzine.

Non-Fiction, Critical Studies

Storming the Reality Studio - Larry McCaffery ed.

Cyberpunk's man-in-academe gives his highly postmodern take on matters in this bug-crusher anthology.

Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier - Katie Hafner and John Markoff.

The best book to date on the outlaw "computer underground."

Across the Wounded Galaxies - Larry McCaffery ed.

McCaffery interviews various weirdo leading-lights of pomo SF, including Gibson and Sterling.

The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier - Bruce Sterling.

It's not just for breakfast any more.

Terminal Identity - Scott Bukatman

Headlong foray across the wild terrain of postmodern technology theory.

The Happy Mutant Handbook - Mark Frauenfelder, Carla Sinclair, Gareth Branwyn, Will Kreth, eds

The first Boing Boing book. More weird fun per micron than normals will ever imagine.

Escape Velocity - Mark Dery

Cyberculture: threat or menace? Round up the usual suspects: Stelarc, Moravec, Pauline, Sirius, Mu, Frauenfelder, Haraway, Orlan, Cronenberg, Dibell, Reznor, Leary, Lanier, Laurel, Barlow, Sobchack, Ross, Milhon, Kelly, Gibson, Cadigan, Shirley, etc etc.
