Are there any good cyberpunk books? Preferably about a thieving crew or something along that Line. Was playing shadowrun and really ejoyed the atmosphere

Cyberpunk books:
Neuromancer
Synners
Altered Carbon
Islands in the Net
Mirrorshades
Schismatrix
Snow Crash
This guy >>9988917 has it right, but especially Neuromancer. It was the inspiration for Shadowrun, down to literally being the source of 'Street Samurai'.
Are there cyberpunk books that don't feel like they were written for nerds?
I'm looking for something more grounded where not all words are replaced by fancy computer terms.
Something like the new Deus Ex games, near future, early transhumanism, not completely dystopian, where most people still live like we do.
