I don't know, do you mean Cyberpunk?
If so, I recommend
Makers - Doctorow
Accelerando - Stross
Snow Crash - Stephenson
Mirrorshades - Sterling
Altered Carbon - Kovacs
Islands in the net - Sterling
The Circle - Eggers
Escape Velocity - Dery
Shockwave Rider - Brunner
Anything by Vernor Vinge.
Everything by Hannu Rajaniemi.
Have fun, try not to succumb to future shock.

I'd say Stross' Glasshouse is better than Accelerando and Stephenson's Cryptonomicon is better than Snow Crash, what do you think?

similar to Gibson? moar Gibson!

Stross is a little bit like Gibson with a little bit more "went there" added in.

the only Stephenson book that is like Pattern Recognition would be Reamde.

I was just thinking about him the other day. You could argue that stuff like Deepness in the Sky is cyberpunk (parts of it, anyway), but is he on the whole? Idk. He's still pretty good though, worth looking into
