If you read no other work of what's known as "cyberpunk" {which looks at the ever-thinner line between humans and machines}, at least read the novel that began it all: William Gibson's Neuromancer, which won every major science fiction award {the Nebula, the Hugo, and the Philip K. Dick award} in 1984, the year it was published. Gibson introduced words {including "cyberpunk" itself}, themes, and a dystopic vision of the future that have been liberally reworked in the writings of many other authors.
