A two-novel omnibus future history (sort of, it starts in the 1950s and sweeps onwards into the 21st century and then further on). This is a powerful set of novels describing a revolutionary break-up of Britain and how it affects a group of friends, especially one Jonathan Wilde (named after the 18th century highwayman?).
Reading this now, can't put it down.
