This one wasn't the one that converted me (Gibson ftw) but Mirrorshades expanded what I thought the genre could be.

Not every story is a winner, but enough try to stretch a bit that it's worth the read.

Helps to put your mind in the time, just before the 90s, before The Matrix but after Blade Runner, before "the metaverse" but after "the net" and "going online" were starting to enter conversations.
