Grandaddy ? Hardly.

Off the top of my head try:

	The Demolished Man, Alfred Bester, 1951 (Republished in the SF Masterworkd series).  Also of interest to Babylon 5 fans.

or 	The Artificial Kid, Bruce Sterling, 1980

it is also said (although I can neither confirm nor deny it) that this http://project.cyberpunk.ru/lib/cyberpunk/ is the story where the word 'cyberpunk' was first coined.


Have fun,
Duncan
