what is THE cyberpunk piece of media to you?

What books, movies, music or games are for you the peak of cyberpunk? The thing that you compare everything else to when you see something new in the genre?

To me it's the first deus ex game.

Gods, it’s hard to say just one, but if I had to, it’s gotta be, despite the cliche, Neuromancer.
- The book?
  
  What do you think about the other books in the series?
  
  Well, I like them all. Like was said below, Mona Lisa Overdrive is the best of the Sprawl trilogy, IMO, but I also really like the Bridge trilogy.
  
  My favorite in the series is Mona Lisa Overdrive. It’s got the whole high tech low life voodoo shoot down pat. My favorite sprawl-affiliated work is Burning Chrome, the short story. It’s concentrate of cyberpunk. Just picking up the book gives me a contact high.
For some reason, Escape from New York. It’s the right mixture of campy action and 80s gloom.
