    the Neuromancer books?
    the Virtual Light series?

    Granted, that's more near-term future than most space-opera options mentioned so far, but I think that would make them at least *as* interesting, albeit in a different way...

    Anyone?

    The Peripheral is one of my top two books (Contact by Carl Sagan being the other, and perhaps first). However, it stands alone, so it doesn't count for this thread. I found the "Pattern Recognition" / "Spook Country" / "Zero History" series quite enjoyable, but I wouldn't rank it as my absolute favorite.

    I haven't read any of his earlier work. If you've also read the books I mentioned above, how would you compare them to his earlier stuff?
