The 'Burning Chrome' collection of short stories* was excellent as was the Sprawl trilogy. I loved 'Idoru' but wasn't as impressed with 'Pattern recognition'.

*Johnny Mnemonic was a great short story but a shit film.

...Feersum Endjin (SP) - found it stupidly hard to wade through the spelling so I didn't bother - a bit like Gonz's stuff only way too long.
