Walter Jon Williams Hardwired is .99 pretty much everywhere in the US.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Hardwired-Com.../dp/B005O5VR3U

I haven't read it since it was new, but it's a pretty good book that got me started on Walter Jon Williams. He says he has never put it on sale before because it sells anyway, but doing it now to get new people to check him out and hopefully read more.

If you do like it, check out the Praxis books, because I want him to write more and if he sells more it's more likely to happen.

Here's the blurb:
Earth lies prostrate beneath the lash of the Orbital powers, and Earth’s Balkanized nations have no choice but to let the Orbitals plunder their remaining wealth. Below the zone of Orbital control, buttonheads, panzerjocks, dirtgirls, and hustlers scramble for their ticket out of the gravity well.

But now, if the criminal underworld and the guerilla underground can join forces, there is a chance to shift the balance of power— in a war fought on the ground by hardwired commandos, in the air by high-flying deltajocks, and by genius hackers in the neural interface.

As Roger Zelazny said, “Hardwired” is a tough, sleek juggernaut of a story, punctuated by strobe light movements, coursing to the wail of jets and the twang of steel guitars— glittering, nasty, and noble— and told in a style perfectly suiting its content. It has all of my favorite things— blood, love, fire, hate and a high ideal or two. I wish I’d written this one.”
