*note: I'll be adding titles and links to this bibliography whenever I can. Currently, there is a spate of books which can be termed 'cyberthriller' and involve computer hacking. Since many of these books are not in my personal archives, publishing details are not always available. Publishers can rectify this situation by sending me details and/or review copies.
For the time being, I've listed these entries in alphabetical order by author. Uncertain whether to continue this way. Listing by book title might also be handy. Both ways are useful. A searchable database would be the ideal... and this version of Mark/Space is just at the steampunk stage. Let me know if you have a solution to this.
