Anything from William Gibson, but especially All Tomorrow's Parties. Although that's the 3rd book in a trilogy (Virtual Light and Idoru come before it), they each pretty much stand alone.

I also really like the Giant's series from James P. Hogan:
Inherit The Stars
The Gentle Giants of Ganymede
Giants' Star
Entoverse
Mission to Minerva

Pioneer PDP-5020FD, Marantz SR6011
Axiom M5HP, VP160HP, QS8
Sony PS4, surround backs
