I don’t think a book from 1995 is going be especially alternative. High Fidelity was written then, and it’s mostly concerned with issues we’d consider contemporary today - and it’s not as if it’s written to be a timeless classic. The weirdest thing in it would be landline telephones. Gatsby on the other hand is a considerable departure from modernity.
