William Gibson's Neuromancer.
about a guy who can maneuver in cyberspace but gets involved in a bad deal and is crippled. he's offered a chance to regain his status by some shady characters. the guys who wrote The Matrix stole a bunch of ideas from this book (but The Matrix isn't nearly as good as this is). inspired the lyrics to a few SY songs.
also, anything else written by Gibson. Pattern Recognition is excellent.
