    The Difference Engine by Gibson and Sterling. It's got mixed reviews, though.

      I got this book a good few years ago. Most of the book is really good and interesting, but overall I'm not sure I liked it, but maybe I missed the point or something. I should reread it sometime and see :) I did love the setting though - a world where Babbage had completed the analytical engine and computers (mechanical, steam powered ones) were unleashed on the world a hundred years early. Some interesting ideas are explored. As for other books, I actually enjoyed some of Gibsons newer stuff (The Bridge Trilogy: "Virtual Light", "Idoru" and "All Tomorrows Party"), though I've seen a lot of people say non of his other stuff was as good as Neuromancer.

  This list totally lacks True Names by Vernor Vinge (1981). It is considered by many the seminal work on cyberspace, years before the term 'cyberspace' was coined. And IMHO, it is a very good read, even more relevant today than when it was written.
