Are there any readers on /lit/ who work in IT? Cyberpunk seems to be a perfect fit for me. More specifically necromancer and the sprawl trilogy. Seems to be a nice mix of tech jargon coupled with fantasy. Anyone care to elaborate?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 14 10:52:49 2016 No.7810745 People who work in IT and people who enjoy cyberpunk belong to the same trash-worthy demographic of autistic STEMtards. Neuromancer is an "unsheaths katana"-tier novel. It sucks. It's garbage.

Proper cyberpunk is pretty retro at this point. Pic related. Give Neuromancer a try, but you might actually want to look at some of Gibson's more recent writing. I didn't like the Blue Ant books at first, but they grew on me as I realised what he was doing (writing stories about how we now live in a cyberpunk world).
