Listopia > Cyberpunk 2020 References

2020 is around the corner, so what better way to prepare the new decade than by (re)reading some cyberpunk classics written in the Good Ol' Days of 198X?
This is not a "Best Cyberpunk Novel" list, but the reference material for the 1990 version of the R. Talsorian RPG. However, I have taken the liberty of including all the books in a series mentioned there, even if they were published after the game.
