Just wondering what 2020ish or later cyberpunk books/authors you’ve read and would recommend. Every list I find is either the same handful of admittedly quintessential 1970/80s stuff (Gibson, Stephenson, Dick, etc), mega compilations that aren’t deliniated by year/quality (and haven’t been updated in years), or wildly irrelevant bot slop.

Human authors only… nothing AI/LLM-generated, please.

    3 books come to my mind but 2 are in Polish (AFAIK only), so probably not of use for you

    I liked Shadowrun: Dark Synergy From Russell Zimmerman. It’s Shadowrun but the plot doesn’t rely on magic parts of the setting, so I think it fits in general cyberpunk genre. Interesting POV and there is more to it than the description but I don’t know how to hint it without revealing too much
