Zeitgeist, Bruce Sterling
Instead of being set in the near-near-future, Sterling set Zeitgeist a year in the past - in 1999. We follow Leggy Starlitz around and about the world, as he tries to find his place in the coming fin-de-siècle turnover. Cleverly written, and not as much about G7 (the central pop girl-group) as you'd think, this is a fun read. I have just enough literary analysis schooling under my belt to find the endless turning of the narrative into hipster mover speak amusing - i wonder how someone deeper into that discipline would find this book. Recommended, but buy it in paperback.
