Garry Kasparov: The Last Revolutionary Technology ...
It's weird that the lack of portable phones requires more suspension of disbelief than time travel. Maybe that's a testament to the writer. In Doomsday Book there are a few plot points where even an answering machine would have helped.
Excellent books though, despite that.
