Strictly speaking The Wasp Factory isn't one of his science fiction novels. But then maybe you meant that anyway.
Moving back to the 60's (and I am a child of the 60's) you kids missed out on free school milk (even better when it had been left in the sun for a few hours), group medical exams (all queue up in your pants for a particularly embarrassing exam more or less in view of your peers), never mind going to school in huge flares and platform shoes with pudding bowl haircuts....don't get me started on ties or interior decor!
