If you do read Gibson, let me give you a fair warning: the most popular work of his, Neuromancer, reads like a steep cliff.

I read it, went through about 10 pages of it, put it down and didn't pick it up for four years. I then read Idoru and enjoyed that so much that I read Neuromancer and then everything else he ever wrote.

Although I hate the guy presenting it.
