Any other Cyberpunk novels like Neuromancer and Altered Carbon?

I've not read any Suarez so I can't comment on that, but I read Gibson before he became famous and I'm on the opposite side of the coin. I find that he is one of the most important authors of the last fifty years.

Considering his influence I would not argue his importance. That doesn't mean I like it. Check out Suarez. What is really interesting is that he lists nonfiction works relevant to his story.
A nonfiction work I consider relevant from before any of them is The Screwing of the Average Man (1974) by David Hapgood.

Limbo by Bernard Wolf Think of it as 50's Cyberpunk
 
I read Daemon some time ago and found It was pretty enjoyable. Is Freedom a sequel, psikeyhackr?

Mikhail, have you read Richard Morgan's Black Man? (It may be called Thirteen in some countries.) It was pretty decent and may fall into the type of story that you're after.

Not really. Daemon & Freedom are a single story split into two physical books. It doesn't make sense to read the first and not the second. Like Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion.
 
Here is a long commentary on Daemon & Freedom:

<Beware: Full of spoilers>


It is common to see the statement, "We are living in a science fiction society." Somehow we have to decide as a society how to implement technology. I think we have been screwing up since the 60s. Cybertech is just another layer to be stupid with. Are people like Bezos and Zuckerberg going to lead the pawns by the nose?

A distinct lack of Pat Cadigan mentioned so far. Mindplayers, Synners and Fools are all solid cyberpunk. She also wrote some recent novels in the Alita: Battle Angel universe (connected to the cyberpunk manga, anime and live-action film of the same name).
