1990: The Community Charge inspires hundreds of thousands to actively participate in street-level politics, Neil Kinnock's Labour Party enjoys
an unassailable 12 point lead over the Tories, and Thatcher is replaced
as Prime Minister by John "ran away from the circus to become an
accountant" Major.

Which 1990 Clarke Award Finalists Have You Read?
The Child Garden by Geoff Ryman
A Child Across the Sky by Jonathan Carroll
A Mask for the General by Lisa Goldstein
Desolation Road by Ian McDonald
Ivory by Mike Resnick
Neverness by David Zindell
Soldiers of Paradise by Paul Park

The only one I have not read is the Carroll. No idea what the Resnick
is doing on there, though.

That one was very popular with the transhumanist crowd at the time.
For me, it resonated less than, say, Greg Egan. Zindell felt too
poetic, too... literary?
