What? You've never heard of Gibson?! :)
His full name is William Gibson, best known for a book called Neuromancer.
The two sequels to it are Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive, together
forming a trilogy set in a cyberpunk future for which no definite date is
given in the books. There's a mega-sprawl (from Boston to Atlanta), a
matrix, AIs, street samurai, orbital stations, and more. I'd say pay a
visit to your library and get the books -- if you're into cyberpunk
gaming they're required reaqing IMO.
