    Hi Guys,

    I'm looking for books set in a world like "Syndicate". Does anyone know some good titles ? I already read all the Richard Morgan. I know it is a strange question for a gaming board but maybe some SiFi aficionado among us has some suggestions.

    thanks

    @aXone: Snow Crash is a great cyberpunk novel by Neil Stephenson, Neuromancer is fine but a bit up it's own a$$, another fun series is DeathStalker by Simon Green.

    Do Iain M Banks' Culture Novels apply? Player of Games and Use of Weapons are pretty good...

    Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is amazing, read it for a class a few years ago. We watched Blade Runner after and I wasn't impressed compared to the book.

    Other than the ones posted (Gibson in particular), I liked the Deus Ex book that was released recently: Deus Ex: Icarus Effect, even though I'm not usually a fan of James Swallow.

    Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Also "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Phillip K Dick. Read those.

    This. The Syndicate is pretty much just Ghost in the Shell. without the whole being nude to be invisible thing.

    Those are both really good. It's also impossible that Neuromancer is up it's own ass. At the time it was written there was nothing else like it besides PKD.

    @crazyleaves: At the time fair enough, I just find most of William Gibson's writing kinda up it's own ass on the whole.
