The world in which Bladerunner takes place certainly feels a lot
like the cyberpunk stories such as "Neuromancer", but the machine
part, while present, isn't a major plot element.  Does this count?

While we're at it, I think "True Names" is closer to the hacker's
ideal world than "Neuromancer"...  is V. Vinge working on an
implementation down there in San Diego?
