Queen Euphoria was a module/scenario, not a novel.

2XS by Nigel Findley way back in the day. But I don't read SR novels (or any other licensed property tie-in novel) any more. I prefer to go to the source and read William Gibson, Rudy Rucker, Jeff Noon or Pat Cadigan if I want a cyberpunk fix.

You actually read William Gibson? My condolences. That man is proof that simply being first doesn't necessarily make you the best.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. The Sprawl and Bridge trilogies rocked my world back in school. Pattern Recognition and Spook Country were the best modern/post-cyberpunk works I've ever read.

OK, my turn.

Yes, I have ALL the SR novels. From the first one to the last. Even the hard-to-find "Into The Shadows" before it was reprinted.
I have to say that Technobabel is very much in my favorites, along with all of Michael Stackpole's contributions (it's been a while, but I don't recall of all the SR pieces he did for Challenge magazine were reprinted).

My least favorite was Steel Rain. Long Island, my home, turned into Tokyo-West? Sheesh.
