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?

Bruce Sterling (Islands in the Net)

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

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.
