so I want to get more into science fiction. particularly cyberpunk. the only real sci-fi ive read so far is 'childhood's end', which was pretty great, but desu like I said I sort of crave cyberpunk--like dystopian futuristic cities and shit.
I know neuromancer is supposed to be like THE cybperunk novel.
but what about Pat Cadigan? Anyone read her? I just picked up Synners and I'm goping it won't be shit.
tl;dr what do y'all think of Pat Cadigan, and also cyberpunk recommendations otherwise

Pat Cadigan is sort of the journeyman of cyberpunk. She didn't create the genre, and I don't think any of her books really had a lasting impact, but she "filled out" the genre and in doing so created a sort of background noise from which most subsequent works draw some secondhand influence.
Major cyberpunk writing:
Burning Chrome - William Gibson
Neuromancer - William Gibson
Altered Carbon - Richard Morgan
Schismatrix - Bruce Sterling
Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
Mirrorshades - Bruce Sterling
Synners - Pat Cadigan
Other things:
Shadowrun franchise
Deus Ex vidya
Blade Runner
The Stars My Destination - Alfred Bester
The Diamond Age - Neal Stephenson
William Gibson's Blue Ant trilogy: "contemporary cyberpunk"
