Well, since others are doing it: William Gibson.

which one of his books do you particularly recommend?

Neuromancer is the only one that I've read, and it was excellent. (I think it's also his most famous)

I'd actually recommend Pattern Recognition. Neuromancer's good, too, but there's something about PR that's very real.

in particular, a deepness in the sky and a fire in the deep are excellent.

Yes they were. And since we're dealing with post-singularity stories, I'll add Simon Funk's novella, "After Life".

I agree and I held out as long as possible, but I am weak...
