I'm looking for science fiction that isnt space-opera.
And isnt Asimov either.
I like some Phillip K Dick, but then I read VALUS and decided that he was too cluster-fucky for me.
Basically, I want non-contrived, non-asimov, non-VALIS cyberpunk.
Any suggestions?

John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar sounds like the novel you're looking for...
