Books That Defined the 70s

By the 1970s, the times, they really were a-changing. While hippy culture had all but run aground, the hedonistic counterculture that defined the 1960s had launched a seemingly unstoppable wave of political awareness around race, sexuality, the environment and the economic liberty of women.
But at the same time, the cold hand of reality was beckoning, and people were beginning to wonder, "So where, really, do we go from here?" For many, it felt like a sort of breathing space between the heady drama of the 1960s and whatever on Earth was around the next corner.
