For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The definitive IT book of the modern era is 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson. Written is 1984 (ironic, huh?) it's widely acclaimed as the novel that made the science fiction we read and watch today. Gibson was a true 'prophet'; he invented VR, cyberspace, and 'the matrix'. It's can be a bit 'geeky' (as most SF novels are) but 'Neuromancer' is cool, is a work of literature, and does indeed deal directly with social and moral issues.
It's the book you need. And then read 'Look to Windward' by Iain 'M' Banks.
