Money by Amis is a good overview of thaterite britain. The corrosive effect of cheap money, neoliberalism and radical individualism on the fabric of uk society. Ballrad does this pretty well too but Amis is a much better character writer.
Money is funny af, especially if you picture the protagonist being played by MAtt Berry.
No idea about contemporary stuff. If there was a book about the gritty reality of contemporary britian I don't think I'd read it. Its depressing enough living it.

Still, at least we're not America
