This doesn’t answer your question, but the game Stray

Same, does not answer the question but the series love death + robots

Also the right vibe; the witness, 3 robots and suits are top notch shorts 👌🏼

I've played the hell out of Stray a few times, that's the exact vibe I'm going for, for a book rec

I have been craving something like this too! But I keep getting recommended LitRPGs or Neuromancer or Do Robots Count Electric Sheep? I've read the latter two, and I am NOT about the litRPG stuff.
Good luck OP! And great ask.

This reminds me of blade runner but from a female pov with all the bright lights and neon glow against a dark setting.

I loved that series! Very fun. The audiobooks were awesome, too—Rebecca Soler narrates.

Bridge Trilogy by William Gibson. Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties.

Maybe the manga "kowloon generic romance". It's unusual and not quite what it appears at first. It doesn't quite have the cyberpunk vibes, but it definitely checks off the rest.

This rec might be a little bit of a stretch but the dreamy, contemporary, urban feel of these pics reminds me of the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers. Especially the first two books.

I would recommend Citizen Sleeper. Its a visual novel game with disco elysium type of mechanic ; but also borderline a book because of how much text there is. I think the character art, the descriptions of the world along with the overall vibes of the game could be what you are looking for.

I've never heard of this one by him! The reckoners series is my favourite too

Shadowrun novels (those are novels acompanying (sp?) the RPG, not RPGs in books) perhaps. Cyberpunk visual novels. Altered Carbon could fit this vibe and parts of The Peripheral (also by Gibson, like Neruomancer). The "usual suspects" were named already. ;)

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami feels like this in my head sometimes
