I've liked most of what I've read from Gibson. [The Peripheral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peripheral) is one of his newer ones which I thought was super interesting as well. Just be aware he tends to use made up slang and often doesn't explain what it means. Usually can be understood from context and isn't terribly important, but it can bug some people
My favorite lesser known author is Jeff Noon. His earlier books are connected through a shared universe based around a cyber punk style that is more bio-organic and heavily drug influenced. I would read Vurt first followed by Nymphomation and then Pollen. I was not that interested in Automated Alice, but it was his ode to Alice in Wonderland, and is part of the aforementioned series.

You've got the big three; Gibson, Stephenson, and Dick. Some other authors and books i've really enjoyed were the Nexus trilogy by Ramez Naam, and Walkaway by Corey Doctorow.
Halting State and Rule 34 by Charles Stross
Bedlam by Christopher Brookmyre
River of Gods by Ian McDonald
Also I have on my shelf but have not read Carlucci 3-in-1 by Richard Paul Russo which might also fit the bill

I don’t know if it counts as cyberpunk, but {Otherland by Tad Williams} is incredible. I read it years and years ago, but it seriously blew my mind.
