    I'm looking for some novels that involve believable cybercrime / hacking.

    What I've read in the past:
    Cryptonomicon (of course!) . excellent book

    Blue Nowhere: jeffrey deaver, actually very good (at least I liked it)

    digital Fortress (dan brown): aaaaaaaaaaah buuuurn it and not in a cd kind of way... burn you paginated piece of muck!!!

    All william Gibson: good. some great but very repetitive

    Neal Stephenson (snowcrash etc): good. not fantastic but enjoyable.

    Otherland (tad williams): long. enjoyable but very light on the IT.

    So, what i'm looking for now would be something along the lines of Cryptonomicon (I read the baroque trilogy as well, long but great by the way) and blue nowhere. Sort of a novel (but not the novel) of Untraceable (the website movie).

    anyone got any good suggestions ?
