a few greg egan novels might be appropriate
permutation city
diaspora
i'm beginning to think that Ender's Game is less sci-fi and more
cyberculture oriented, so it might be worthwhile looking at
verner vinge's 'true names' many say it is the best representation of
cyberspace, now it is out in a new edition with many supporting essays
i'll second pat cadigan
