I'm tired of reading books that are somewhat cyberpunk or kinda cyberpunk if you squint your eyes just right. I'm in the mood for something that's more unapologetically cyberpunk. So what Shadowrun novels are worth reading?
I'm a total beginner when it comes to Shadowrun novels and there are way too many to pick one on my own. I picked Dark Resonance at random since it involved a technomancer and I really enjoyed that one. But then I tried Never Deal With a Dragon because it seemed the most well-known and I just found it boring. I don't think the issue was with the book's age, I think I just prefer more Matrix-heavy stories (with hacking and everything).
So has anyone here read a bunch of these Shadowrun novels? Are there any you would recommend? I know I'm not looking at high art here, I want a fun novel with hacking.
I read Never Deal With s Dragon as my first ever cyberpunk/Shadowrun book and it made me a lifelong fan of the genre, so there's that. Maybe I should actually re-read them now as an adult, since I mostly really remember the first one, and a bit from the third.
