Well, if you haven't read them already the other two books are pretty good. The different type of protag makes the story different, but I enjoyed them..
Start by reading Land's "Meltdown": http://www.ccru.net/swarm1/1_melt.htm
Don't worry, it's not meant to make sense yet.
Read the rest of Gibson's early SF work - the Burning Chrome anthology of short stories, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Read Gravity's Rainbow for extra credit.
Peter Watts - Starfish, then Blindsight. Read Strosa's Accelerando and The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect.
Reread Meltdown, and recoil in horror as it begins to make a sick kind of sense. What have you become?
