I actually enjoy the obsession with materials in cyberpunk. I have an obsession with materials in real life but I hate clutter so I satisfy my vanity with cyberpunk short stories. Just imagine all the cold colored glass, warm future plastics, hard imitation woods, and smooth ceramics. Don't you just want to touch all of it? I love the smell of plastics, I wish nerd writers would relate smells more often. Science fiction in general seems like it would smell really good.

Gibson is a must and the Sprawl trilogy is excellent (esp. Mona Lisa Overdrive), The Bridge trilogy is also great, with Idoru being the strongest standout.

Charles Stross' Accelerando does something really cool by expanding from your standard cyberpunk era into the post-singularity space-faring world which is really fun.

Greg Egan's stuff if youre looking for hard sci-cyber

Cyberpunk has become a reddit meme. It was interesting when it was being made by actual artists but after the first matrix it's just another star wars

and then you can read the works of PKD,J.G Ballard, John Brunner, Samuel Delany, Roger Zelazny and a few other authors from the Scifi New Wave since a lot of cyberpunk authors were inspired by them.

A while back someone posted a painting by an artist whose style is very cyberpunk/melting neon esque. And I can't for the life of me remember what his name was, anyone got a clue?
