What books capture the 90's accurately?

Not the 90's in the sense of zoomer vaporwave mischaracterization. 90's in the sense of CD-ROMs, Macintosh, Web 1.0, yuppie corporate life, post-Soviet optimism. I want something so "of the period" that it reeks. It can be contrived.

I want something to transport me back to those days. Something from the period, or written by someone who truly remembers.

The only things I can think of are The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker, or American Psycho, but American Psycho is a little too satirical. But I want some stuff along those lines. Capturing the feeling of being a yuppie in a city like Chicago or Boston or San Francisco circa 1995. Maybe some corny yuppie beat-revival trash from the period.
