The Best Cyberpunk Books with Tim Hawken


Listen Later

In this special episode you get a sneak listen of my latest sci fi novel Thrill Switch. I then dive into what the sub-genre of cyberpunk is, what the best cyberpunk novels out there are, and who the best cyberpunk authors are including William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and more.

As a  quick recap, the top 3 cyberpunk books ever include: 

  • Neuromancer by William Gibson. A precursor to The Matrix and easily the most influential cyberpunk story of all time.
  • Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. This killer story takes cyberpunk to a whole new level, in Stephenson's signature gritty style.
  • Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan. The first in a trilogy, these books have also been adapted into an insane Netflix series. 
  • In terms of epic new cyberpunk releases, there's Thrill Switch by Tim Hawken and I also recommend 36 Streets by fellow Aussie scifi author T.R. Napper.
