Stephen Bury released two books, Interfaceand The Cobweb, in the mid 1990s. They were both political thrillers with a technical edge. It later came out the Stephen Bury was a pen name for science fiction writer Neal Stephenson and J. Fredrick George (and came out later that J Fredrick George was a pen name for academic George Jewsbury who is Stephenson’s uncle). These book are often overlooked in by Stephenson fans, but are well worth checking out.
