I'm thinking about giving William Gibson's Neuromancer a chance.

any other cyberpunk recommendations?

If you like Gibson then you might enjoy Jeff Noon. Another good one is Steve Aylett, Shamanspace is one of my favourite books. Bigot Hall is good as well, hilarious and dark, full of fantastic quotes.
