Recommendation please.
I'm looking for some books set in 90's. Preferably something more po-mo.
By the 90's I mean this whole era when the computers and internet were becoming the real thing. There was this feel that year 2000 is coming near, lot of theories, about the end of world, paranoia etc.
Not sure if I'm describing it enough. Maybe a little bit of the feel from Terminator 2 (inb4 not speaking about the movie, but the atmosphere and seeting of the movie, sort of)

I know there is Cosmopolis by DeLillo, probably some DFW (but I havent got to him) sort of Bleeding edge by Pynchon (even though it is set later)
There's also City Sister Silver by Jáchym Topol, situated in early 90's in Czech republic, but that's not completely what I'm looking for, but great book anyway.
Thanks.

Amnesia by Peter Carey

It's not his best work, but I'm saying that in kind of the same way Bleeding Edge isn't Pynchon's best. It's still great.
