 If you want to read Ur-cyberpunk, read Neuromancer, by Wiliam Gibson -
 if you haven't already.

 While I count "Bladerunner" as seminal cyberpunk (albeit visual), I
 don't know if the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip
 K. Dick counts.

I like Rudy Rucker's work - it reminds me that I wanted to read the Ware
Tetrology.
