Not as in Language but as in author
I’m in a run of reading oldish 80s cyberpunk stories. The Neuromancer (Sprawl) Series, Schismatrix+ and Island in the Net, (I’ve read a long time ago) the Budayeen Cycle.
And I was wondering if non-European/american/canadian author have written cool cyberpunk stories
Try translated Chinese web serials.
Try 40 milenniums of cultivation. It’s half fantasy though, with it’s own magic system. Actually, most web serials I read are fantasy, I haven’t seen much sci fi.
There are also actual novels though, like the 3 body problem, which was popular enough to get adapted to a netflix series but I only really care about web serials.
Could try the Nexus trilogy by Ramez Naam. It’s more modern cyberpunk though. The author is American, but was born in Egypt.
if manga is book-like enough ghost in the shell
Wow, Germany doesn’t really have international recognition Sci-Fi on a quick glance.
The Swarm by Frank Schätzing comes to my mind.
I don’t see people mention the Budayeen series very often, but I remember it being great!
Not sure how good these are (or how truly cyberpunk-y they are), as I haven’t read them, but here you go:
- Club Contango by Eliane Boey (Singapore)
- Stormblood by Jeremy Szal (Australian by nationality, Middle-Eastern/Slavic ethnicity)
- House of Gold by C.T. Rwizi (Zimbabwe/South Africa)
- The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan (India)
