A very different style and language, but I felt Richard K Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs series' had a similar non-relenting future-technology somatic pressure as I was reading them. http://www.richardkmorgan.com/books/broken-angels/ (using Count Zero as reference)

As to Idoru, I definitely remembered it when the AKB48 news came out some time ago: http://ksfm.cbslocal.com/2011/06/24/new-member-of-japanese-p...

Seconding the Richard Morgan reccommendation. The Kovacs novels are great.

The investment banking/mad max one is an absolute hoot as well.

I sometimes wonder if they'll ever make films of them. It would be good. They'd be pretty hardcore though.
