Space Western or Cyberpunk

[balon!]

Anyone seen the show Cowboy Bebop? Do you know of any books or series that have the same feeling as the show?

I'm out of stuff to read, a good space western would do good right about now.

That or mabye some good cyberpunk. Anything on that?

for a good Cyperpunk primer read
William Gibson (featuring:Nueromancer)
Bruce Sterling (Islands in the Net)
Lucious Shepard (Green Eyes)
Walter Jon Williams (Hardwired)
and
Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash)

Coolness.

Definitely second Gibson & Stephenson. Saw the Cowboy BeBop movie...didn't do anything for me. *shrug*

* Time Enough For Love by Robert A. Heinlein.

One of my all-time favourite books. I would never call it a space-western though. It has one "scene" set on a pioneer-type planet that is very western, but that's just one scene.
