* Terry Pratchett had a problem with endings, but his plotting is often fantastic. * Iain M. Banks. Consider Phlebas is a "heist" novel that resembles Neuromancer in structure, but where the mechanics of the plot never gets in your face. The Algebraist (which is a great read despite being way overlong) and Against a Dark Background resemble Gibson in certain ways. Player of Games, Feersum Enjinn (which often reads like something Terry Pratchett might have come up with) and Use of Weapons are also really well-plotted novels. * Philip K. Dick rarely sticks his endings, but he has some great plot-based stories, such as Ubik and Three Stigmata. * Gene Wolfe.
