For about a year I had my eyes on AndroidNetrunner. I love the cyberpunk setting and dystopian future. I know it is discontinued. I heard about Null signal games, I read diving into the web implementation of Jinteki.net is a pain. Long story short I got the original FFG Core box for Xmas. The last days I read rules, found a very welcoming Discord Server, got the Game and Jinteki.net explained by a really cool person and I love everything about it. The idea to keep this game alive and make it accessible and welcoming to everyone I just love. Especially because this universe is all about Corps and hacking them.
And don’t get scared by the Website Jinteki. I have seen worse on BGA.
Once the European shop opens again I’ll be the first to order a Gateway box. I thought I can never get into games like MTG but here I am (please send help, did buy four books already to dive into the Cyberpunk universe)
I hope one of your four cyberpunk books was Snowcrash ; -)
(Should still be as good as 25yrs ago)
I have the original FFG Netrunner box too, to use the counters. The Netrunner/Null Signal mechanic really nails the cat&mouse of the corp/runner interactions.
Highly recommended to any other boardgamers to try.
( Other great cyberpunk book choices: Permutation City, or Vurt )

Yes, Snow Crash was one of it. Got a couple of people recommending this book to me and Necromancer.
