I admit, I am a gamer. I do not read. But I've been playing this game, pic related, and more cyberpunk in my life. What cyberpunk books do you recommend? William Gibson seems to be the go-to, but apparently his prose can be a bit much. Worried I'll bounce off. I'm mainly interested in reading about how people live/navigate a Cyberpunk setting, not so much the tech aspect of it.
