Not sure if manga qualifies as reading but for manga/anime cyberpunk I can recommend Ghost In The Shell. It deeply touches these subjects, from multiple angles.

Then, since you specifically said read, there's Philip K. Dick, who wrote loads of books on this genre. When people think of Blade Runner they don't even know its based on a novel by him [1]

If you're referring to a book which studies cyberpunk as a genre from a documentary PoV then I wouldn't know.

+1000 for "Ghost in the Shell", I am ashamed to have forgotten to mention this absolute masterpiece which remains unbeaten in this genre to this day.
