I've been waiting a long time for the sr5 Matrix book and now that its out its feels like it did not really add much and I wanted to know will there be a second matrix book that will have more decking tricks and software options ?

Maybe some options for making your own deck or software.

There will be a Technomancer supplement.
(Unclear how much -if any- decking or software stuff it will include)

Additionally, Crimsondude has been chatting a little about what is coming down the pipeline (bold by me):

Quote
We get some sort of outline every year before Gen Con and the freelancer summit. However, it can and does change over time for various reasons. That said, I'm excited for a couple of reasons: (1) Personally, I haven't had the opportunity to write anything since 2012, but now I have time and other circumstances that afford me this opportunity, and (2) the last two years have been focused on releasing the Fifth Edition core expansion books, but now we're into the meat of the 5th Edition era as a setting with the rules in place or imminently in place. The only core expansion books left are the rigger and technomancer handbooks, but now we're going to focus on sourcebooks like the corporate handbook, the Seattle box set, and other products that build on the full rulesets and existing sourcebooks. And while I have to be vague, I'm rather excited about the plots and ideas that Shadowrun will be focusing on in those future books.

I definitely shouldn't mention this lest I stir up wild speculation, but one of the things I have been able to do besides run the tumblr is that I recently updated the Shadowrun wikia's list of AA-rated megacorporations because there is a plot sparked in Bloody Business (Earlier, actually, but it really gets going in BB) where that list will become relevant.

Note to self...figure out how to hack into the freelancer summit ;)

It's interesting, but, a little odd in places. Lots of ideas are kicked around, some of which connect, some don't, some are truly outrageous, some a bit more mellow, and official stuff is also banded about. (Plus we get lots of reminders about NDA stuff. A few of us are a bit blabby in public and that does NOT go over well. Thusfar, nobody's gone over the edge that I know of, but, you know, there are lawyers and things you sign, so.)

The usual one is a round of, "Hey, can I kill off X?" and what the fallout from that would be. Nobody's immune to the big chop, but you need to have one heck of a pitch ready if you want a big name to go down. If you want Lofwyr to go down, you'd better bring charts. :D

Now we don't need Clockwork killing, actually we do but we could settle for a session where they just bend his kneecaps the wrong way. :P
Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?
