Oh, and here's one even icon wouldn't recommend...

Vurt - Jeff Noon

Takes place in a run-down s***-hole future Manchester where anything can breed with anything and junkies get high on shared-hallucination feather-drugs called vurt. The main character is in love with his sister, and is on a quest to bring her back after she got lost in the vurt and her place in reality was taken by an amorphous blob of drug-flesh called the Thing from Outer Space. It's ... it's a weird book.

It's technically also the first in a series, though they're loosely connected. The sequel, Pollen, is about a lethal hayfever epidemic and the goddess Persephone; the prequel, Nymphomation, involves lotteries and the discovery of magic lube and math having sex. There's also a tangentially related fourth book that also serves as a third Alice (as in, in Wonderland) book, Automated Alice.
