Books That Defined the 90s

The 1990s was a slippery old decade to define. Concertinaed between the Cold War and the War on Terror, it has been dubbed "the holiday from history" – a decade of relative peace and prosperity, free from the existential angst of decades past. No global conflicts to speak of (notwithstanding Blur vs. Oasis, of course), no economic doom to wallow in, no Margaret Thatcher.
With the dawn of a new millennium about to break, it was (for most people) a strange, floating decade of positivity, hope and a thing nobody yet understood called the World Wide Web.
