William Gibson's newer books are pretty good if you are interested in Cyberpunk type novels.

Snowcrash is great. Also, you should read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" which was the novel bladerunner was based on.

^^ IMO i didnt like "Neuromancer" AT ALL!

It was interesting at points, but overall I never was able to "get into it" ... kinda felt really frustrated after it was all done and read.

(but again, thats not a newer one of his books of course)
