Yea, haven't read any thing by Banks yet, but I picked some novels that seem highly interesting to read soon. That's why I put it in "maybe".
I guess Richard Morgan is the original cyberpunk as in Neuromancer. But I read half of Altered Carbon and actually found it pretty shitty & overrated (ie unrealistic, unauthentic atmosphere, stale storyline, ...). I'm not playing PC games much anymore but Morgan wrote for Syndicate (youtube.com/watch?v=tGKVdW2EBzM) and Crysis 2 which are both top-notch (my favourite games) & cyberpunk (Crysis 2 is also a lot of BioPunk).
Is Market Forces good / much different from Altered Carbon ?

>>5316906 Got to add that I see Postcyberpunk as the new wave of cyberpunk. In the "Cyberprep" sense of postcyberpunk ("A cyberprep world assumes that all the technological advancements of cyberpunk speculation have taken place but life is utopian rather than gritty and dangerous") only Down and Out In Magic Kingdom and the 2 books by Suarez of my list fits the description.
