From the short stories, you might start with the following:

The Thousand Dreams of Stellavista, The 60 Minute Zoom, The Secret History of World War 3, The Intensive Care Unit, The Gioconda of the Twilight Noon

The novella, Running Wild, might be a good place to start.

With his novels, I would read the big three from the 70's (Crash!, Concrete Island, High Rise), and then maybe the two best of his latter period (Cocaine Nights, Super-Cannes).
