Books That Defined the 2000s

The dawn of the 21st century sounded like the future. In reality, it also arrived with a mixture of optimism and trepidation. As the seconds ticked towards 01/01/2000, there was a much-publicised fear that a "Millennium Bug" would cause global technology to crash, and planes to fall out of the sky.
The Bug didn't land at midnight – but early in this decade, shattering events would alter the world irrevocably: the atrocity of the 9/11 attacks; the subsequent, sprawling horror of the so-called "war on terror".
