That said, I did really like Ready Player One, which shows up on some other lists and I think is a good fit, and I have liked many books by some of the top "cyberpunk" authors like Neal Stephenson (Cryptonomicon/Seven Eves), Charles Stross (Laundry books), and China Mieville (Kraken), and I enjoyed Boneshaker but that is not cyberpunk so I am not sure why it is on this list.

Next up: The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, book 2 in the Three-Body Problem/Remembrance of Earth's Past series.
