The Stars My Destination is classic proto-cyberpunk

The Stars My Destination, a 1956 sci-fi novel by Alfred Bester, is a precursor to cyberpunk. It's a classic work worth reading, especially in physical form to experience its ergodic elements. The novel follows Gully Foyle, the main character, but its plot is hard to explain. This novel is a must-read for sci-fi fans. It's available to read in full at The Verge.
