I quite liked Fate's Mirror as a cyberpunk novel. It was fun, pretty light-weight in a good way and it moved very well. It's an indie author duo writing under the name M. H. Mead. It's $4.59 at Amazon which might seem a bit high for indie authors but I consider it worth it.
Can't go much further without giving a shout out to one of my favourite authors, Neal Stephenson. Both Snow Crash and Diamond Age fit the cyberpunk categories. I liked the former more than the latter. Both are available at Amazon.
Back to indies, I liked The Bridge Chronicles by Gary A. Ballard. They are pretty short novels with the second not as good as the first and third, but I appreciated the slickness of the main character - the traditional cyberpunk anti-hero. The first book is only $0.99 at Amazon so it's a small price to test out the writing. If you want to just leap in, the trilogy comes in an omnibus edition for $5.25.
I will second Ian McDonald although I've only read one of his offerings, River of Gods. But I loved that. I understand most of his books have a sort of cyberpunk feel, so dig in.
I really like cyberpunk, but because I like so many other genres I haven't read a huge amount of it. So I'm only recommending books that I've actually read and enjoyed. There might be wider read cyberpunkers here that can guide you to wider choices.
