I saved the best for last. This is the Night City sourcebook, the best Cyberpunk book and one of the best city sourcebooks ever made.

Night City is a recently constructed city of the future built on the California cost between San Francisco and LA, by a man conveniently named Richard Night. Its mix of high rises and seedy back alleys, all awash in neon, is the central location for most Cyberpunk adventures.

It has all the stuff you’d expect from a city sourcebook – jam packed with interesting locations, plot seeds and colorful characters. Where Night City exceeds expectation in its presentation. The book is, like many other Cyberpunk books, presented like screens in a dataterm, with little buttons and advertisements and a fabulous isometric map of the downtown. Reading the book, which came out in 1991, is unnervingly like falling into a Wikipedia hole.

I would love this book as a custom tablet app, with working links and the ability to scroll through the map and dig down for the data I am looking for. The format is so good you can see how it would work digitally, just by flipping through the pages. I love this book. When it gets back in print, pick it up.
