ausfi . . . If the story is probably not set in our universe, it seems unlikely that we will gain any additional information by asking whether she dwells on earth.

of that, we can remove Dirk Gently (Which is this universe).
We can probably also remove the Amazing Maurice. (although the 'this universe' clause is iffy)
Count Zero and Neuromancer are definately this world, so they are out.
Of the rest, I haven't read them, or read them too long ago.
