Contemporary cyberpunk recommendations? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Just wondering what 2020ish or later cyberpunk books/authors you've read and would recommend. Every list I find is either the same handful of admittedly quintessential 1970/80s stuff (Gibson, Stephenson, Dick, etc), mega compilations that aren't deliniated by year/quality (and haven't been updated in years), or wildly irrelevant bot slop.

Human authors only... nothing AI/LLM-generated, please.

Published in 2007, so may be too old, but I enjoyed Thirteen by Richard Morgan who also wrote Altered Carbon.

I’ve enjoyed everything he’s written. Good suggestion. In a similar, rule-breaking suggestion, Jeff Somers Avery Cates series is also very enjoyable. It also was first published in 2007. T’was a good year. 😏

The Avery Cates series is fantastic! It has a really fun dark humor to it with first-person narration.

Yes!! Another fan. I loved it. Dark, tough guy nonsense and humor. Such a fun series!
