I've read Neuromancer and Snow Crash about once a year for nearly 20 years. Michael Marshall Smith's early sci-fi books, Only Forward and Spares, have also had many re-reads.
on “Ask HN: Which book have you re-read the most times? how many times?” ↗Spares (1996, HarperCollins) – ISBN 978-0002246569 Michael Marshall Smith
on “The stealthy startup that pitched brainless human clones” ↗…able to convince me I'm wrong, though. Alien/s, now that's SciFi about motherhood. I guess if I was going to approach "cyberpunk Frankenstein" I'd end up somewhere adjacent to Michael Marshall Smith's Spares ("human clones, the ultimate health insurance").
