I'm not sure if I'd call it cyberpunk, in the same vein as William Gibson's "Sprawl" trilogy, but I have to say that I've immensely enjoyed the books I've read so far. I'm actually in the middle of Influx right now.

You Need More Cyber in Your Life
Yeah, I was thinking about cyberpunk as a genre, and I tend to lean towards a more optimistic techno-future sci-fi with elements of artificial intelligence, power plays for centralized control, and such. Maybe my interpretation is a little lose, but at the end of the day, it's all about great content. Thanks for giving your input!

I forgot to say something about the books themselves. So far I liked "Freedom" the best, because of the interesting mix of new social structures and technology. "Thieves Emporium" (Max Hernandez) was a bit like that too, without the focus on technology. Underground shadow societies..

All Gibson's stuff are the bomb! Try Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash as well :)
@lukestokes seems like you'd like the Solarpunk genre, it's filled with grit, but with plenty of optimistic overtones (or undertones)!
