3. The Peripheral by William Gibson
From the author of Neuromancer comes the tale of two characters, seventy-some years apart, whose paths cross when one of them, Flynne, is pulled into freelance online game-playing that takes her on a journey into the future. There she encounters Wilf, a man on the far side of the apocalyse, where things are good for the haves, and there aren't many have-nots left.
