How about this...

A novel by John Brunner about a talaented computer programmer gone anti-establishment. I read part of it as a teen & have never been able to remember the title or recognize the book when looking at John Brunner titles.

Thanks In Advance
The novel you are looking for is Shockwave Rider. It has been out of print for a long time (1976?). Many credit it as a precursor to cyberpunk.
