I got a 4 hour train journey coming up. What's a non-terrible cyberpunk novel i can waste my time with?
i've read gibson's sprawl stuff, snow crash, altered carbon and sequels. Is gibson's modern stuff any good?

Going to piggyback on your post here to ask what should I watch/read on the plane to Defcon?

Basically looking for anything Vegas, cyberpunk, or possibly cyberpunk vegas.

Current Contenders:

The First Hangover (filmed at the Riv, which was blown up by terrorists the shareholders.)
Heavy Metal
Running Man
Lawnmower Man
The Day After
Hackers

(Bonus points if it's something I can load via Netflix or Prime rather than uh, legally obtain and rip to my device)

vegas movies: con air, honeymoon in vegas, leaving las vegas, fear and loathing, swingers, oceans 11/13, diamonds are forever

defcon movies: sneakers, enemy of the state, the conversation, swordfish

if you only choose one: wargames

I actually have not seen Leaving Las Vegas, thanks for the suggestion.

Also, Wikipedia thinks I'm an idiot:

if you have the sort of brain that could make you a successful card counter, and you find it enjoyable, just go into computer touching finance stuff and make 10x as much plus benefits and also you don't have to go into a casino
