Another source of inspiration: there’s a gorgeous cyberpunk art book (two, actually) on Kickstarter right now, and a well-flavored pitch, too.
Worth checking out. Lots of samples.

I love the Netrunner card game, so I picked this up. I was expecting it to be an art book, but it turned out to be more of a world guide. Lots of detail and text on the game world, characters, corporations, etc.
Prolly a bit brighter than the default Sprawl assumptions, but plenty to mine for folks who want more grist for their mill.

Other Places is a YouTube series about digital environments, and they just put up a video for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Certainly good mind-fodder for The Sprawl. Might be cool to just put this up on the TV and let it loop during play, too.

Gianni Milonogiannis, Old City Blues, & Inspiration Artwork
I was going through old links and finally downloaded a few sketchbook Gianni Milonogiannis had put up on tumblr and it occurred to me he’d be perfect inspiration for a Sprawl campaign.
He’s the author & artist for Old City Blues, which is a classic cyberpunk manga set in New Athens, and he’s also been doing great work with Brandon Graham on Prophet lately.
But anyway, his style feels very classic anime/manga to me, but with a modern sketchiness to it, at least to me.
Old City Blues is online at http://milonogiannis.com/OCB/ and the sketchbook I mentioned is available at http://milonogiannis.tumblr.com/post/77799112922/hey-guys-heres-a-little-pdf-collecting-odds-and
Lots of great gems in there. Enjoy!

I finally had a chance to go through the book last night and I found the Factions and Debts particularly interesting, so I was curious how they’ve played out for different groups.
How have the two influenced an Urban Shadows game in a way that might not have come up in, say, World of Darkness or Dresden Files?
Faction in particular seems ripe for emphasizing overall theme and a sense of “sides” in a vague conflict – and open to redefining under other names or loyalties.
