I love William Gibsons books but I have read them all. I also enjoyed David Garnetts books although they were in a comedy style. I am into the cyberpunk style mainly. I just don't know what to read next. Any suggestions??

My kids love anything by Orsen Scott Card. Start with Ender's Game. If you like that, there's more, and more and more!

Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451 - between the most visionary authors of all time. H G Wells - issues to go back, The Time gadget, warfare of the Worlds - the dude spoke of the destiny, he change into remarkable. Jules Verne - adventure to the middle of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues below the sea. again, astonishing for the time he lived in. Michael Crichton - Jurassic Park, The Andromeda stress Arthur C. Clarke - 2001 an area Odyssey, adolescence's end Isaac Asimov - I, robotic, The Bicentennial guy, the starting up Trilogy

I used to really like Asimov, but eventually the Foundation series really got on my nerves. I've always found Arther C. Clarke rather dry, although some of his situations were intriguing.
I think these days I'm more inclinded to say Robert Heinlein is the best. If you haven't read "Stranger in a Strange Land" you should.
On the hand, in fringes of SF is the alternate history genre. There, I would say S.M. Stirling is great. Pick up "Island in the Sea of Time" and see what you think.

Yvevgevny Zamyatin- We is an awesome story that nevers ends, a reat satirical sci fi story that prophesized the totalirian society created by Stalin eight years before it happened. he is a soviet writer who was exiled and all his literature removed from the soviet union but the books was printed in other countries and can still be purchased really sheap on ebay,
I have three different translations and they are all very similar

Well... in my humble opinion... Phillip Dick is about the best science fiction novelist.
Avoid the classics if you can, by todays standards they are very dry and largely (although some will disagree) very boring.
If you want a science fictioney read, try Terry Pratchett

Arthur C Clarke. I remember a short story of his that started " at midnight every telephone in the world rang." Impossible not to read on.

Try Anne McCaffrey, her Pern series might not be what you're looking for but the Acorna series is fun, set far in the future.
You also might try Terry Prachett(sp?) and Christopher Stasheff. They're a lot of fun, particularly Stasheff, he is hysterical!

I am older than you and I read Gibson but the best Science fiction author still is Asimov.
