Stan,
It is not so much that the protaganist is one of the 'baddies' but his
nemesis is some, huge, faceless corporation (and if you've read Neuromancer,
they are _worse_ than the cowboys in most instances.) In the first of the
Cyberpunk novels, 'Wetware', the protagonist in that case was the creator of AI
machines that had colonised the Moon. (it's better than it sounds 8) He was
not a baddie. In fact, none of the major characters in the story were out and
out 'bad', but acting at cross purposes.
I suppose the legendary version of Jesse James makes good reading, even if
the reality was quite a bit different. 8)
