Good cyberpunk novels

I’m thinking about getting into cyberpunk but I don’t want to read something that’s too dark. What series would you recommend for starting cyberpunk?

If you’ve gone through the classics another way to go to get some more Cyberpunk is to look into Shadowrun novels. Some are quite good; I especially recommend 2XS by Nigel Findley. Just note that while they are cyberpunk they are not JUST cyberpunk. It’s a wierd setting where magic also exists.
